While cooking in my impossibly small kitchen in my first home, I often fantasized about how nice it would be to prepare meals in the beautiful chic chef’s kitchen that I would own “one day”.
Well… my husband and I bought a house seven years ago and although it had many elements that we loved, the kitchen was not one of them. We agreed to purchased the house and I was promised that we would update the kitchen. At that time I believed that we would get started on the kitchen right away. However, we actually got started on something else when we moved in… less than a year later I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and a few years after that…and a basement project later, we welcomed another happy and healthy daughter.
Seven long years in a kitchen with outdated appliances and peeling cabinets. Seven long years dreaming of a gas cook top. Seven long years of stalking beautiful kitchens on Pintrest.
Well the kitchen is now complete! I could not be happier. So let’s take look back at how we began the process, survived the renovation and everything we learned along the way.
Stay tuned.
