Kitchen

This was the kitchen when I bought the house - the previous owner had painted the kitchen blood red (over the existing wallpaper!)

I had to strip all of the painted wallpaper before I could paint it again.

I also wanted ceramic tile instead of the vinyl tiles on my floor, so my dad and brother were able to find some great tiles (at a great price) and the kitchen already looks bigger and better!

Dad also framed in the doorway to the utility area.

I chose to paint the kitchen in a wonderful yellow that has a tinge of green - very bright and cheerful!

Eventually, I am going to have bi-fold doors installed, and I would also like to install tiled counter tops. I have some really pretty cobalt blue that would look great in the backsplash, as accents (thanks again, bro!).

January 2, 2006, Dad installed the frame and doors for my utility area off the kitchen.

January 6, 2006, I just finished painting the doors and frame (and also the second coat on my windowsill, and re-painted the jambs between the kitchen and the dining room white).

And this is the roman shade I made to go in my kitchen window. The picture's a little dark, but it coordinates very nicely with the yellow walls.
