My Kitchen.

This weekend I made the shades and painted the walls biege.  (see shades post below)  Not too big of a painting job, since the walls are mostly cabinets. Plus the subway tile and backsplash goes high up the wall. 

 

The stove is a 1950's Tappan.

We got it free on twincitiesfreemarket.org.  It was a major find. It is a fully working gas stove. White enamel, no chips. The countertops are formica. Only the kitchen table is granite. We installed the wood floor - 1 inch solid Maple.  (one of the hardest jobs we've done in the house)  I will post the before pics - so you can truly appreciate the transformaion. But for now- here is the finished product.  For how I did the diamonds, click here and here. The kitchen is 13 x 17.

                     I painted over the optical illusion-ish wall.                                  (Dishwasher wood panel to be installed.)

This has been a major accomplishment.
All I can say is Yay! and Whew!  And please Children, keep it clean.
