Alrighty folks. Here's the re-done kitchen! This is Alexandre. He's been with us for a while. He came as an international student during his last year of High School. Then he got a good schollarship at the Agricultural College here in town, so he decided to come back here for college! All the way from Recife Brazil. I wonder if his sweet girlfriend down the street had anything to do with his decision to come back....hmmm. He hurt his knee playing soccer. Now on the mend.
Zach had to get into the picture of course! The cabinets are now an ivory color. The countertops are a grey laminate. The walls are green...really really green. The color name is "Squeezed limes" Pretty accurate. Dennis kept coming into the kitchen and yelling "Hulk SMASH!!"
My big boy Nate making himself some eggs for dinner. Notice the new stainless range hood. I installed it myself...not too hard, but a bit of a pain. Big improvement over the yellow old one!
He's so cute!
A real size fridge?!?!? In the Bruce house? YES! We had to have the cabinet over the fridge raised so the space could house a standard sized fridge. No more minis for us! Wahoo! I went crazy and got the pretty stainless with a freezer drawer on the bottom.
This is Zach and Nate`s Great Grandma's cabinet. When she passed, Dennis helped clear out her house. This cabinet had been sitting outside for years on a porch. It was mildewy and filthy. It also had about 10 (not exagerating!) layers of old paint on it. No one wanted it, in fact they wanted to throw it away. Dennis quietly said that he thought I might want it. I worked many long hours to restore it...now Dennis` brothers want it. Too late guys.
Dennis remembers being washed (as a babe) on the dough board that pulls out in the center.
This is the new Breakfast Bar. We still have the TV on it, but eventually it should serve us pretty well.
Still have a bit of painting to do...as you can see by the supplies in the corner.
green is my favorite color!
