the remaking of a kitchen

i added these photos to prove that the kitchen actually gets used. it's not just a pretty face. it gets used and it actually functions just like i hoped it would. it's so neat that the room we cussed and discussed for over 2 years has actually turned out to be just what we had in mind. that magic triangle that everyone mentions works so well, and the island is just where it should be to catch items from the ovens or the refrigerator. it also works well for prep with an easy turn from island to cooktop and back again. when tracie visited i prepped the meal while visiting, and then don plopped plates and flatware on the island and we just ate there and continued the conversation. wow!
