Now welcoming dinner guests

Except for a few finishing touches our kitchen remodel is complete. Chris has worked really hard this past year on home improvements, and he's especially put in a lot of effort this past month since we tore out the old kitchen.
Jordie Braugh with Original Craft built the cabinets using African mahogany with a clear finish. We are really impressed with the quality. Chris and my dad did the rest of the work, including tiling the floor, installing granite tile counter tops, painting, installing track light and the list goes on.
It doesn't quite feel like our kitchen yet because it's just so darn nice, but I'm sure it won't take long to get used to! It reminds me of the fancy houses I visit when I do write-ups for our newspaper's real estate publication. Now I should learn how to cook fancy food!



This is what the kitchen looked like when we moved in.
It's hard to tell from the photo how worn out the cabinets were or how the smelled.

One month ago today we removed the old cabinets and started smashing up the old tile.
