We remodeled the kitchen!

I was so excited to get this done! My uncle and dad spent the weekend remodeling with us!

Before, 50s metal cabinets and all! It was a disaster in there. And yes I only had TWO counter tops!!!!

My mom and I tore out the cabinets, I forgot to take a picture of that. This is my Uncle Hal. He's from Hal's Plumbing in Maquoketa and did a FANTASTIC job! He's awesome *cough cough* :D We tried getting him to take short cuts, but he kept saying things like it's a little less than a 1/4 of an inch off, I better fix that, it needs fixed. I tried to tell him the whole house is at least 1/4 inch off, but no, it had to be perfect! :rofl:

Daddy put Enzo up there, he was happy.

We apparently did this remodel for the cats, I was unaware of this. Stuart, Leya, and Enzo. Leya is blind so at least one cat will stay off the counters. :rofl:

All done! And everything is put away (except the junk on top the fridge, ignore that)

We are going to paint it a burnt orange color, the floor will be dark, and the dishwasher will be black. It sooooo nice to have a decent kitchen!!! I won't miss that kitchen one bit! My uncle told me that we were weird for liking the dark colors and it must be a kid thing :rofl: Our entire house is pretty much dark earth tones.

Gotta appreciate nice work

Oh, I forgot to say we are getting an over the range microwave, that's why there is such a huge empty space there.

Thank you! My uncle really was fantastic. All the counters and cabinets are 100% level and line up perfectly! It took forever and I definitely didn't care if it was absolutely perfect, but my uncle would NOT take "it works" or "looks good to me" for an answer :rofl: I had no idea of all the work it takes to put in some cabinets!

Nice job :)

Nice! Congratulations! :D

I like dark colors too. What's for dinner?! :D

Wow! That looks so much better, great job!

Looking good!!! Congrats on your new kitchen :gj:
