My $1,200.00 kitchen remodel is nearly complete! Here is round one of photos!
I love photo mosaics. Picasa makes them so easy!
Mostly close up shots today because the rest of the room is a mess! I hope to get it put back straight very soon!
I love my new vent hood! I'm not quite happy with the silverware on the ledge--I'm not quite sure what I want up there--any ideas?
I love white Ironstone! Can you tell?
My everyday dishes are at arms length from the dishwasher! Yes I now have a dishwasher!
I finally have a place to put my giant punch bowl! It is so pretty with the sunlight hitting it.
Here is a close up shot of the cast iron brackets. I love that they have the number 103 in the design. Item or model number? They are the original chippy wonderful way I found them.
If you pay close attention to the photos you can see where I was re-arranging as I was snapping photos. My grandmother gave me this set of Depression glass mixing bowls. I got the soup tureen at Goodwill.
I have an obsession with trays! Can you have too many? The milkglass salt and pepper shakers were my great-grandmothers.
This is my $12.90 cutting board from Wisteria.com. It was originally $129.00 and I got it for 90% off!
The hardware is Martha Stewart's collection at Home Depot. Look for a post later this week with sources for items. The green Depression glass sugar jar was also my great-grandmothers.
I normally keep paper towels under the cloche, but ran out! Oh no! I re-purposed a vintage Barbicide jar for straws.
Pretty dishes look great stacked on cake plates. If you've never done this before, I recommend it!
Can you have too many Jello molds? I love how they look in an antique egg basket.
My grandmother gave me this--we call them potato salad bowls because her mother-in-law always served potato salad in it! She has picked a set up for my dad, aunt, and uncle, as well.
These mixing bowls are almost too pretty to use.
I need to find a white coffee maker--or maybe stainless steel. White or stainless? Hmmmmm. . . . .
Check back soon for the final before after shots, as well as a post on the vent hood, sources for similar items, and an over all cost break down.
