Kitchen project

We had a pretty good kitchen to start with but we were desperate to get rid of the drop ceiling and add some lighting. I added some can lights and remove the existing sofit above the cabinets so Erin could do some decorating. Here are some pictures of the progress.

Drop ceiling and sofit gone




New ceiling fan.

I built this drop down table, so we could have a place to eat when it is just the two of us, so we don't have to eat in the dining room all the time. Oh and we add our version of a pot rack. Found these rods at Ikea for $5 each and decided to hang them from the ceiling for the pots.

Don't quite know what I was doing in this picture but you get the idea of the table.

I tiled the new backsplash and we got new granite counter tops, which Erin may love more than me!!

All done and decorated!! We think it turned out pretty great!!
