Remodel is complete!

 It's finally time to do the long awaited post of our kitchen remodel.  It's been a 2 week longer-than-anticipated-process, but in the end, it's all been worth it.  I LOVE everything and am so happy with how it all turned out.  Here are some before pictures:

 And. . . . (drum-roll please) the after pictures:

 Goodbye old white porcelain sink and. . . 

hello new Blanco silgranit sink!  I love it so much!



 Here is the living room and entry before:

Sadly (or perhaps not as I'm sure you'll be amused by this picture taken in 2010 at our 80's themed New Years Eve party) this is the only picture I could find that shows the french doors before:

AND. . . . the living room and entry after.........

Freda made the cute kitchen curtains and did the awesome flower arrangement on the pedestal.  Doesn't everyone wish they had a talented mother-in-law like me???

This was our 2nd guestroom before. . .

And this is Mike's office now:

He is so thrilled to just walk down the hall to go to work now.  It's been especially nice when its at 4 in the morning, or late at night.  And, unlike many women I don't worry that he'll get off task and start lounging around instead of working- and if you know Mike and his hideous work load, you won't be worried either.

We had many trucks outside our house the past 2 months (and this picture doesn't include 3 of them which I failed to get) which meant someone was inside hard at work.  The electricians, granite guys, carpet layer, cabinet man, hardwood floor installers, plumber, comcast team (yes, it took three guys in three trucks to figure it all out), and our contractor/handyman Bryce (Brad's dad- and may I say what an awesome job he did on the arch, banister, back splash and trim work?)  It's been very quiet the past few days without workers coming or going.

I am beyond thrilled that we've been able to make almost all the changes that I've been wishing to make ever since we moved into this house 10 years ago.
