Big Kitchen Reveal

There has been a lot of dancing around the kitchen this weekend!  It is not totally complete.  Still awaiting the arrival of drawer pulls and cupboard door knobs, pendant lights, few bits of trim, doors and shelves and pullout drawers to name few.  But it is finished enough to use!  

Let me take you on a little tour.  Starting from the "hall" entrance:

New location for refrigerator,  "morning beverage station", (see the missing cupboard doors?).  

My one glass front cupboard.  Currently decorated for fall.  Fall napkins, tablecloths and tea towels plus a few kitchen items that are orange and yellow.  Sometimes I just open it and stand there and grin.    I think John is afraid to use anything in here!

New window, waiting for a curtain.  Big sink!!    New Bosch QUIET!! Dishwasher, pretty gray tile floor!! 

Back door and big pantry, minus doors that didnt open because of back door.  New drawers and doors due any day.

My cooking corner.  Drawers for hot pads and cooking utensils, cupboard for cutting boards.  And yes, we are using tabs of blue painter's tape for door and drawer pulls😀

John eating dinner!  We use this island and counter stools for most meals now.  Sweetie boy loves it too!!

Big drawers for pots and pans.

Dining room as seen from kitchen.

My old pine hutch decorated for fall.

The kitchen is only about 1/4 full.  Lots of boxes to unpack yet.  Working slowly and unpacking most used items first and trying to put them where they will be used.  Still have Doug here another week so can't work on it during the day.

I have bare bulbs where pendant lights will be.  

I recently explained to John my plan for a neutral white and gray kitchen so I can change out accessories and dishes to match a season or holiday.  Orange and yellow for Fall.  He stared at me, absolutely dumbfounded and told me I was "Brilliant!"  Even the dish soap is orange right now!!  

Need to finish cleaning up and wash dishes and load my dishwasher!!  All it needs is ourHalloween black cat.😢 🎃. We miss him.
