The start of the kitchen redo

When we moved into this house last year the kitchen left a lot to be desired. The appliances were 20 to 30 years old and they didn't work very good. The dishwasher would get the dishes wet and then dry but really didn't wash them so I hand washed most of them. The oven cooked very uneven and just the front part of the oven. It was also very small, a large turkey would not fit in the oven. The stove top worked part of the time. The burners would work then just go off when I was trying to cook something. The disposal would grind really loud and turn the food around and around but that was pretty much it. We decided we would get some new appliances for our Christmas present to each other. The ones we wanted were on sale after Christmas which was great.After the new appliances were in I decided to paint the cupboards. Next project will be to paint the walls. A little at a time we are making progress. I love the look of the painted cupboards. Who knew they could look so good for over 40 years old and with new drawer pulls.


We had saved our old sink from our kitchen in Idaho when we remodeled the kitchen. We put it in and got a new faucet and disposal. It is amazing what it is like to have new working appliances.

Family


During the Christmas break we had a family picture taken. There is a really neat park called the International Gardens here is Salt Lake City. I was hoping for a snowy background but, not to be. We did get a nice family picture.
