3 months later and it’s finally here, the kitchen of our dreams. There are not enough words to express how thankful we are for all of those who have helped us. Our uncle Chris with Brumback Contracting, Kathy (aka Mom) for designing our cabinets and researching the appliances, Kurt for teaching us how to make concrete counter tops, the many friends and family who helped paint the cabinets, grandparents for babysitting so we can spend endless hours working, and 5 hour energy for the late nights we stayed up. It was a long road of eating out of microwave safe dinners while eating off paper plates or doing dishes out of the bathtub. We were inspired to keep going knowing we could say “we did this.” Now it’s your turn.

First step we knocked out the wall to open up the room:

 

Upgraded appliances from a broken range to a gas cook top and a convection oven:

 

Extra storage space using upper cabinets under the island instead of having a bar top:

 

Check out that farm sink, and the dishwasher has a panel on it so you can’t even tell it’s there:

 

Still plenty of space for a dinning room table:

 

Our biggest project is finally done, and we couldn’t have done it without you. You are our hero!
