Our kitchen gets a makeover

Here is the kitchen when we bought the house.
You may be saying "wow, it looks great why would you need to upgrade?"
It amazing what you can do with camera angles and lighting these days!! The original cabinets from the 60's were not in the best shape, and the counter had a big crack in it.

Here is our kitchen "bare nekked"
We did the demolition ourselves to save money

Fun was had by all via the sledgehammer



The cabinet installers were a husband and wife team, and they were amazing. They did a great job. We were without a kitchen sink nor dishwasher for almost a week. We never new how much we would miss our sink! Everyone is glad that this family adventure is over.


Now here it is fully finished. Well I still have to tile the back splash ;-)


The Kitchen seems so much bigger, and lots of cabinet space! Mallu Mom squealed like a little school girl and was very giddy ;-)

An amazing find

Since we were able to get such a great interest rate of the house loan we were able to afford to get new kitchen cabinets installed.

In order to save a few hundred bucks we decided to take out the old cabinets our selves.

It's amazing what we found down there:

• old coupons from the 1980's


• a sealed letter with a 22 cent stamp (we think we might mail it)


• various pieces of papers and junk


• Halls cough drop wrappers


• mouse poison


• roach droppings

All of those were a little nothing special, the letter was cool but we never thought that we would see this.

Yes that is a bottle of "Aunt Jemima syrup" ---- and its not even empty!!!
