It's about time!

We're making a few changes around our house. I'm posting some pictures to show the progress to my family and local friends who have listened to me complain about my kitchen for nine years (shout out to Lisa, Staci, & Rachael ~ thanks for all the Wednesday mornings you listened to me whine). Also, I have an obsessive-compulsive need to record every part of our lives. So here you go...

The cabinets to the right are new. That's where our refrigerator used to sit. The counter top is new too. The floor hasn't been put in yet. Big changes happening over our sink. For lo, there is a hole in the wall now. We really wanted to open up the kitchen to the family room. We had to leave some of the wall on either side because of pipes and electrical stuff (that's the technical terms).

Here is our new doorway from the family room into the living room/office. Again, we wanted to open up the rooms and improve the flow of the house.

Looking at the new doorway from the other room.

Even though it will be several more days before it's all finished, I'm happy with the progress so far.

Lastly, here's our little Lowe's helpers!
