Yummy! Finally New Kitchen Cabinets

We were successful at getting our cabinets in this weekend.

They look SO good. I love the color with our yellow. It's just yummy!

We were supposed to get 'templated' today for our granite. Our first hiccup, the guy called in sick. Now we are pushed back to Friday, but they assured us it would not affect the estimated install date of 9/4. We'll see!

This is a shot of our kitchen before paint a couple of years ago...

Yep, very ugly and uninspiring. I wrote a post when we first moved into this house about how I lived in a giant piece of poop! As we are finally choosing to stay here and make it beautiful I am finding love for it!

So while we were still leasing it I painted it...

We added our pot rack.  This was the perfect fit and solution for this kitchen. 

We still had ugly cabinets and counter tops that, yes were nailed together because the laminate was coming off! Needless to say this reno is long overdue!

I cleared out our cabinets on Thursday and Matt started tearing stuff out that night. Friday he put up sheet rock, where we tore out the back splash, and built up the floor under the cabinets. Here is our kitchen partially torn up...

Saturday morning we were ready to rock. Shawn came over and he and Matt got a little system down and only ran into a few snags. They did an awesome job! I'm proud of them!

The color is PERFECT! It blends so well with the mustard yellow and flows so nicely into the orange den. It's rich and oh so yummy! Have I mentioned I love it? I'm so excited about just the cabinets imagine my pleasure when I get a new floor AND new counter top!

Let's review one more time...

Here are the before cabinets...

Here are the after cabinets...
