Well we are almost finished and here are some photos to commemorate the Ikea Kitchen occasion.
Here’s a photo of the south wall. We’re looking to add a little color in the form of a rug and/or backsplash. It turned out a little black and white but we’ll fix that. Also the flash on my camera kind of bleached things out a bit.
Did you forget what the before photo looked like?

Here’s our breakfast corner. Jerry had a great idea to build a wall to separate the fridge from this corner and I think it worked out great. The fridge used to be in this corner. Look how much counter space we opened up by moving the fridge.
Here’s a photo down the counter of the same area.
Here’s a shot of the new sink. I kept the faucet that we had as it went well with the overall design.
Our sink is so deep you can hear an echo. 9.75″ profound.
Here’s a photo of the stove side. I love the ease with which I can get to the microwave. No bending down!
Before photo of same side of the room where stove now is.
Here’s one of Jerry’s details. He put a vent in the toe-kick and funneled the old register through it. Nice touch!
A view of the other side of the sink. Look at that miles and miles of counter space! It never ends.
And finally here’s the refrigerator peninsula complete with counter-space for opening bottles of wine!
And the before shot of this same area.
Here’s the before pic at a different angle of that same wall and corner where the fridge used to be. Pretty stark change, huh?
A big thanks to Jerry and Alastair for all their hard work!
