FINALLY!!!

Ok…finally, after 3 months of frustration, confusion and much disruption, our kitchen is done. There are still a few things left to clean up and Pam will paint the bare spots over the next few weeks but for the most part, the thing is done.

BEFORE…

AFTER…

This was all Pam. Every decision, every idea, every hard choice was made by her. She would show me something and I would say, “Looks great, Hon.”…and I meant it. Everything looked great compared to what it looked like before. But it would have taken me ten minutes to pick out a backsplash, even less time to pick out door handles. But Pam operates differently than I do. She’s a grinder, a planner, a girl with the mind of an engineer. She agonized over each choice, laid everything out on spreadsheets, drew up lists of pros and cons. But, because she did, it turned out perfectly. 

On the down side…it will now take me at least three months to learn where everything belongs. Probably added fifteen minutes to my job of emptying the dishwasher in the morning, “Sweetie? Where does the carrot-peeler go again?”
