It's not entirely finished, but it's finished enough to show off. I am so happy to finally be down to a little minor cosmetic fixes. I've been doing this thing forever.
I need new switchplates, a little touch up paint, a mirror hung, and the existing phone gone. That's pretty much it.
Here are before and after photos of what was the soul destroying, appetitie supressing, Black Hole of despair that was my original kitchen, and how it looks now.
We tore an entire wall out, and pretty much ripped out everything but the cabinets. Those are the original cabinets with some black paint and new hardware.
I took a wrecking bar to the old countertops, which were so shitty I'd close a cabinet door too hard and pieces of tile would fall off. That was very theraputic.
I figured I'm pushing fifty, I am NOT cooking on the same piece of shit stove I was cooking on when I moved out of my parent's house and didn't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of. And it wasn't the same stove, but it sure was the exact same make and model. I had to shim up my pans just to have a level surface. Screw that.
BTW, that tacky light up there is going away. We just got back from Lowes' with a vanload of lighting fixtures for various things.
