Kitchen Tour

By mid-April, Bill and I were sleeping and eating at the new house and going back to the old house to work on getting it ready to hand off to the new owner. While we are living with moving mess in the rest of the house (to one degree or another), the kitchen is pristine. This was Bill's plan all along. He wanted a "sanctuary" from the rest of the mess: a room that was complete and beautiful where he could escape from the moving chaos.

To me, this is the essence of that sanctuary.

Kitchen Update - Part 5 (The End)

[Last of the re-dated Kitchen Update posts.]

After tearing out half the kitchen, opening the wall and moving electrical and plumbing, putting the wall back together and painting (see Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4, aka "How Painting is Like Knitting"), it was finally time to build the washer/dryer closet.

I only have a couple "in progress" photos. Here, Bill's built the top and the side and I've started preparing to paint.
