By Request (More Kitchen Photos)

This is a fairly good representation of what the kitchen has looked like ever since the countertops were installed (minus the small child standing up there--replace her with a 6'4" teenager sitting and that's more likely).  We were cleaning and I needed help reaching the top shelves, however there is always a lot of stuff filling it up.

But, I had a request for more photos, so I took a few (relative term) minutes and cleaned up a bit to take some updated shots.

This is the view from the dining room.  We bought the stools at Target.com.  The color match was almost perfect!  You can see beside the right stool, there are now end pieces on the sides of both of these cabinets.  It gives it a much more finished look. 

A better view of an end panel. 

We did not have a spot for towels and they kept getting hung on the oven or dishwasher door. This is convenient until you open the door and the towel drags on the floor which is typically dog hairy.  So my dear one put a towel rack on the drawer instead of a drawer pull.  

This window will eventually be replaced.  It was not on the replacement docket, but we found one that cranks open and fits the spot perfectly.  Looking forward to that!

The two dark circles on the false front of the sink cabinet are three-hole outlets.  Very convenient!! There was quite a bit of engineering that went into their installation.  All the wires are concealed and waterproofed with PVC piping. 

This is one of four corner cabinets.  This is the biggest and my favorite.  Everything is easy to reach and  it holds a lot of stuff (most of which was in the dishwasher). 

This corner unit is behind the unit pictured above.  It is actually two separate cupboards that looks like one. Because there are two units, they don't hold as much, but one turned out to be a great spot to hold all those travel mugs, water bottles and such.  The other holds the shaker cups and protein powder that our fitness minded kiddos use. 

This corner unit is a double Lazy Susan.  Nice big shelves that hold a lot.  You just have to be careful that the V shaped cut-out  of the shelves is positioned correctly so that the door will close. 

This unit has two stationary shelves.  It's got a lot of room in there but it has to be used for not-so-often-needed kitchen stuff because 1)  it's deep and hard for me to get at (old knees!), and 2) it is dark in there.  We did not consider a light until it was too late and I was not going to go there!! 

We do have plenty of lighting under the upper cabinets, however.  And, as you can see, a lot of well used outlets.

So, there's our kitchen.  Well-used and awfully nice, I must say.  Thanks for asking, Derek!
