My new kitchen!

by Art_TeacherFeb 7, 2009
Finally have the photos off the camera! LOL! Here it is. I know to some of you, it might not be much, but look at the before photos and see what I have lived with the past 18 years. The fugly linoleum got ripped out when we finally bought the house after renting for 8 years. We have waited almost 10 years to redo the rest of the kitchen. It was the original cabinets and formica countertops from 1962!

We put in cherry cabinets, granite countertops (love the name...Ubatuba), and painted to match the tile on the floor that we put in 9 years ago. The only thing that doesn't go is the white fridge...can't afford to replace it until it goes bad. It is only 8 years old. The walls are a greenish-blue, called Apothecary Blue, but more on the green side. They go well with both the countertop and the tile and I love it. The color looks different in the daylight and at night.

I feel like I'm in a different house!

I love your new kitchen and am so envious since we need to desperately do something with ours. I really like the granite countertops and all the cabinet space you now have. The colors you picked are beautiful.

It is beautiful!! I LOVE the granite countertops and the rich deep color of the cabinets. Have you looked into getting the magnetic cover for the front of your fridge? Our friends did that on their dishwasher. I'm not sure if it is available for a fridge, but doesn't hurt to try.
