FINALLY....the HOUSE! First stop, Kitchen -

**WARNING: LOADS OF PICTURES**
Kitchen .... finally! :)
Well, the kitchen was the MOST work and we knew it from the start - the kitchen needed MAJOR work - here are some BEFORE pictures! Warning, these are scary!





Click on the pictures to see the REAL scariness of the house! At first we thought that we could refinish the cabinets (ie. PAINT) and redo the counter tops so we did this....
Oh, what's that you ask? UMmm...yeah it's ROACH POWDER...and dead animals...in my cabinets....at that point Kenny & I rethought our decision to redo the cabinets - good thing we did because we also found this:



The left picture was under our sink and the right picture was under the dishwasher - so we mold re-mediated (obviously)!

To truly understand what it looked like for a while, this is what it looked like:






And now - the BIG reveal!







So, we still have some work to do, we want to decorate more; especially adding a little sign that says 'Life is Sweet' along with paint the top of the bar ... and finally flooring! Our little breakfast area was turned into a long term pub area/laundry area. Here's the picture:

Can you see the flooring in the back?

So, what do you think?? Little improvement? We'd love your feedback!

Love always-
K&L

  1. Looks great! I'm so happy for you guys. I'm so jealous I have that itch to buy a fixer upper & make it our own. Keep up the good work.
