Two of two...kitchen remodels

Okay, this one is not a "real" kitchen, per say.  But dare I say...it probably gets more use every day than our real one.  By a slight amount ;)

My Albuquerque peeps will recognize the little stove. Somewhere, I have the front to it. Plexiglass window and all. I do not, however, know where it is right now. I'll have to work on that. In the meantime, I finally, after two years, finished the remaining kitchen components. I'm somewhat ashamed that all E had for many years was a stove. That's what getting pregnant and having a baby will do to you, I guess. But it is DONE now! Check it out:

Table and chairs from E and G's great-uncle D:



The whole she-bang:



Detail of the sink interior. Really the only "cabinet" I made, so that's where the dishes go.  The little curtain really irritates G right now.  It might have to take a vacay.  Or be ripped off by G.



Instead of a pot rack...we have coat hooks for our IKEA pots and pans!



Inside of freezer (good place to put that picnic basket and cutting board, ya know) and fridge:






So maybe you noticed the half-finished paint job on the fridge.  Truth be told, I made the fridge out of that old particle board entertainment center of ours.  I kinda forgot regular paint does not stick to that crap.  Oops!  So the doors are already nicked up.  But it's still pretty cute.  About 100 pounds, but still pretty cute.  Going to have to secure that bad boy to the wall once I'm convinced it's done!

One kitchen remodel...of two!

Over the course of the past few weeks, we finally (!) put up a backsplash in the kitchen. Long overdue...I'm a messy cook. With the electric (egad) stove, I can't really help myself!

We hooked ourselves up with some Fastbo backsplash from IKEA

And we got down to business cutting the stuff to fit around all of the junk in our kitchen.  We only had two panels that were uncut!

At any rate, we finally ended up with a finished kitchen.  And, despite months of going back and forth about tile options, we ended up with no tile.  And no color!  But I think it looks cool, and really does match the kitchen.  So for those of you who told us to go with black, this one's for you!











I love IKEA!
