Our kitchen remodel is {nearly} done!

Our kitchen is {almost} done and it's beautiful!  It's a huge change from how it used to look and we LOVE it! 

Before...looking from the living room into the kitchen.

Before...in the kitchen looking toward the living room.

After about 2 months of work, we are finished! (Well, almost finished...the company we ordered our cabinets through originally ordered the wrong end panels for our island, so we're waiting on the new ones to come in so we can put the finishing touches on the island, ugh.)  We can't believe how much the whole living area has changed and feels SO much bigger now! 

The extra storage from the island is wonderful too!  All of the wedding gifts that were being housed in our guest room closet now have a home!

We love the whole thing and we have a huge sense of accomplishment having done nearly all the work ourselves!
