Since one corner of the kitchen, which is the baking center, is finally finished I'll show you how it's turning out. Below is a 'Before' picture with one cupboard door off to be painted...
Here it is after the facelift, painted cottage white, with new bead board and a wood countertop, and minus the tambour door/appliance garage. As much as I liked having the appliance garage, when I saw it without, I liked the openness and extra work space.
I'm enjoying the change and the new lighter brighter look.
And I'm very thankful for a husband who has given so much time to making & installing the countertop, installing the bead board, re-doing the plumbing (which he hates) & installing the new sink & faucet!
