The biggest project: Kitchen (Before)

The kitchen really scared me when we first walked through the house, but Robbie assured me - we'll fix it all up! So here is what we started with!

Everything (except for the fridge - see below) is original with the house - 1965!

The fridge was pretty much the only thing that wasn't original in the kitchen, but the only reason we knew this is because there was an even older fridge (think vintage 1965 Westinghouse fridge with turquoise interior) in the garage!

The turquoise range (and convection oven) is the standout piece for the room :)

You might not be able to tell, but the floor is an old tile that is discolored and coming up at different parts, the countertop was white laminate with gold flecks/dots, and the ceiling was the kind of tile you might see at an older school building (holes in it), also discolored.

Wallpaper fun! (or not!) Plus, the light that's as bright as the sun, and the "window" from the kitchen to the dining room!

The peekaboo window into the dining room inspired us to turn that wall into a bar/island area. Even better was the "shutters" that came along with it!

Home improvement, here we come!
