The Old and The New....

I'm a gal who loves a project. I wish, I could find the original pictures of this kitchen when I first bought my house eight years ago....scary!! Dark, dark,dark wood is all I will say and the first thing I did was to paint the cabinets white...my poor "lover of anything wood" lumber jack father almost had a heart attack. Yes, my Dad really is a lumber jack . Anyway, he rolled his eyes and just let me do my thing. Thanks Daddy!

The Older Kitchen: always a work in progress.
