cabinet installation

Can't believe this day is finally here. We were getting used to nothing in our kitchen and now we have cabinets. Our kitchen is feeling a little small. We do seem to have twice as much cabinet space. Most of which I will not be able to reach. It's really exciting to think we will be able to put all of our stuff away. We rarely saw our counter tops since most of the time they were covered with junk. This will be a big improvement for us.



The peninsula, the biggest change we made.



Very large pantry. Most worried about this cabinet since the old one had a big angle in the corner and we got rid of it to get more storage. The wall angle is a little strange but we can live with it. It has pull out drawers for food. Now we won't have to wonder what is hidden in the back.


Sink cabinet

This space where the TV was located in the top part of the cabinet. The shelf and cabinet was removed and now is now redesigned.

Farmers sink fits!!! yippee... Everyone was against our sink choice cause it is very hard to fit and very heavy too. No two sinks are exactly alike and the rounded corners can differ so cutting the cabinet is difficult. It was one of our most desired items in the renovation. There wasn't any one that could change our minds on this one.

Peninsula with corbels, legs and spice cabinet. Didn't really want the spice cabinet at first since I don't really use very many spices but it looks pretty nice. I am sure I can fill it up with stuff I don't need!!!

The new and improved TV cabinet. This piece was one of our biggest problem areas. This final design was made at the very last minute. Jeff was happy that he could get a new TV when he was just going to be happy with the old one. A wine cooler will go on the bottom and the cabinet will hold TV stuff . New TV will be mounted above the cabinet. It turned out good.

the hat


One of our favorite places for lunch.

The best pastrami sandwiches we ever had.





The small fries are so big. They fill half the bag and we can't even finish them which we all know is painful for Jeff to throw out!!!



So much pastrami falling out. We always share one sandwich. It is so yummy and hard to eat...

finally, they have arrived

Our kitchen cabinets!!!

Almost like Christmas, everything is wrapped up and we have to wait till they install the cabinets to see how everything will look.




The new pantry is huge!!!


The pantry drawers and pull out drawers.


Looks like pieces to a puzzle, all marked and ready to put together.

All the pieces filled up the living room. To be continued...

kiis fm homecoming concert at the honda center

Another great concert, another bad seat. We tried to get better seats for this concert and yet again we failed. Called at the exact right time but no such luck. Maybe someday. The music was fabulous so it was worth it. Yes, the pictures are tiny and far away. I need a better camera or better seats!!!
