Wall cabinets

As we all too quickly approach the holidays, I have to admit, the kitchen work has been put on the back burner.  Andy and I got the wall cabinets installed where our refrigerator used to be. It is a huge step toward normalcy in this kitchen.. In this house, that’s quite a feat. We aren’t very good at normal.

Are you wondering what the dark line above the cabinets is?  It looks like we didn’t put the cabinets up to the ceiling but in actuality, we had to remove the trim piece to get it up on the wall.  The dark stripe mocks me every time I walk past it.

Obviously, we need to fix the trim piece. We need a better counter top option and I’d love to get a new range hood. For now, though, I have to say I’m really happy with the progress.  The kitchen feels so much bigger.  The new appliances make me feel like a grown up and I’m no longer ashamed of them.  I also think we actually moved cabinet contents into more efficient places.  I have mainly focused my efforts on this area.  After I do some more work here, I’ll turn my attention to the fridge area. 

In all honesty, though, I think I need to pay attention to the upcoming holiday. Christmas is breathing down my neck and I still have shopping that needs to be done.

Are you ready for the holiday?

XOXO
