kitchen redo

I moved my refrigerator into the laundry area right off the kitchen to give me more room. It was a GREAT move....but it opened up a can of worms that led to this...
The chair rail was removed along with the ugly soffit that was hanging over the stove.

This was the wallpaper that had been painted over by the previous owner. It was all removed as well.


The plaster walls were so bad, they had to be mudded and sanded. Then painted all the woodwork and walls a bright white. I picked out a great backsplash for the sink area, and a nice carrera marble subway tile to go behind the stove.


I'm very proud of how it turned out...a fresh change!

It's pretty cool that something starts out like this and with a lot of water and warmer air ends up looking like this
