After Kitchen Photos

Long time no see--especially since I'm not sure if anyone actually reads this thing. It might be better if I actually posted here, but that's a moot point. Anyhoo, our kitchen is about 87% completed, thanks to about 16 trips to Ikea over a month-long period (including 3 trips in one day). We used Ikea cabinets and Ikea countertops and are generally really happy with our choice, even though putting everything together was a headache, especially since Scott avoided that chore like the plague. We got a new dishwasher and microhood, and a new to us fridge that we scored on Craigslist for a steal. The walls will be painted a darker color soon, after we tile the back splash with white subway tiles for a cleaner look.

To jog your memory, here is a before picture, keeping in mind that this was before we moved in and all of our kitchen accessories were all over the countertop since we had no other place to put them:

We repainted the walls a nice light blue, which is now too light with the white-white cabinets and our future back splash. Scott broke the light on the left by simply using the pull chain. We're in the process of replacing it, but wiring has to happen in the attic, where there is about a foot of clearance, so neither of us has that project high on our list of Honey-Dos.






And here are the after photos!!















































What you do think, anonymous internet people? Things will still be changed--trim needs to be added, we're looking for another light for the main fixture, but we're really happy with how everything turned out.
