03/04/2007: "What kitchen?"

We do, in fact, have a functional kitchen, for those of you who were wondering. We've had a functional kitchen since January. I haven't posted pictures of it because I don't actually consider it completely finished. I am a stickler for accuracy and I really wanted to be able to whip the pictures on you and say, "Ta da! It's done! Here's the kitchen!"

That may not happen for... ever.

But it's done for all intents and purposes. There are still two side panels that need to be attached and all the kick plates for the bottoms of the cabinets are lying, uncut, in the garage, but honestly? Close enough for atomic bombs and horseshoes.

So here, without any further ado (because there has been more than enough ado around these parts) are the results.

We started out with this, if you recall:

Things now look much better, because they look like this:

So. Much. Brighter! The kitchen no longer looks like a den of iniquity! It looks like a pleasant place to chop things and mix them and create fantabulous dishes such as lasange, or beef stew, or duck with blueberry glaze, or any number of marvelous things which we have, in fact, cooked in there! I am thrilled beyond words.

From the other direction, we have this:

And then there is this:

Even if we never install the kickplates (but we totally will) I am thrilled beyond words. It is incomprehensible to me that we pulled this off without injury or major mishap. There were moments when I wasn't all too certain about this endevour. One of those moments might have been five days before we started demolition when I wandered through the house clutching my hair and crying, "We are so unqualified to do this! What makes us think we should attempt this!?"

I was in my first trimester, is my only excuse. I am better now.

Sort of.

Anyway, that's the status of the kitchen. Status=good. Also lovely.

Soon I will be posting pictures from the 3D ultrasound. Possibly tomorrow. I cannot promise these things because I do not scan pictures. Dave does. I cannot make promises on his behalf. Also, we're awaiting the CD from the ultrasound place that will contain "color" pictures (read: sepia tone) and those might be better than the black and white ones and I want to post the best pictures I can. Because I am a giver! I think only of you!

You're welcome.
