This is the kitchen when it still had the darling little kitchen nook that actually took up a lot of space! And the old stove with no oven window. John worked on a TV show episode where one of the characters had a scene in a ghetto apartment. The ghetto stove in the ghetto apartment was nicer than our stove.
Which is why it's delightful to gaze upon it now:
Now all the light that was in the nook is in the whole kitchen. And if you need any tongs, they're right there!
We still have to get a new apron front sink and new wood counter tops. If you could see the tiles up close you would be appalled! So gross! I will never have tile counter tops again! I will be that annoying woman on House Hunters who says, "But the tile counter tops in the second house are a deal breaker..." While you scream,"You can get new counter tops, nutball!"
Who am I kidding? Like we can move anytime soon...

Wow - know I'm really going to have to go back and take a look at all the other things you done! This is a great job (and hard work). You should be very proud of yourself - congrats!!!!!
It's amazing the difference removing a wall can make! And I can sympathise on the stove issue, mine is rather old and sad looking as well. Unfortunately it's not high on the renovation list yet for me :)
Wow, what a stunning transformation. Love it!

I am so impressed. You dropped by and left a lovely comment on my living room progress entry and so I wanted to repay the visit.
Very cool blog. So impressed by your true DIY spirit. I wish I had more DIY skills.
We're following you now. Maybe I will learn something.
