No one can truly appreciate how AWFUL my old kitchen was (the pictures do not do the horrible justice). We have been really busy since the beginning of last December in preparation for the new kitchen. I knew it was bad, really bad when the mess and clutter drove Chad nuts! We survived however only to L-O-V-E the new and much improved kitchen. (Let it be noted I never in a million years would have dreamt of the possibility of a replacement kitchen. Lacey told me not to go to ID for Thanksgiving but instead put the money in my kitchen, most important to get a dishwasher. She told me "You cannot have 3 kids and NO dishwasher!". Yes we are expecting #3 in July! Thank you Lacey!)
So here are the pictures!
Before- yuck! That was the only counter space I had...I think is was 47 inches!
I had carts and racks to hold everything! I used the stove and sink as counter space
Ta Da! Oh the love I have!
Story about the new stove: It was not in the budget to buy a new stove and used ones in great shape are hard to come by. Our cabinet installer, Chuck, gave us this glass top stove. No strings attached! I cried, and cried! All he asked for was chocolate chip cookies with nuts! There are not enough cookies to make him!
I know it's not fancy, large or much...but I love it!
Side note- my kids love to dance to music I bought these tu-tus and they love them!
Elly is obsessed with sunglasses, they even go in the bath!

Your girls are adorable, and that kitchen improvement is amazing!!!
Melissa it looks AWESOME!! You guys did a great job! I can't believe that you didn't already have a dishwasher! Congrats on baby #3! When does that put your due date? Do you know what you're having yet?
Why am I laughing at the sunglasses? Yes, I know.... you have the most awesome kitchen that even has a cookie sheet built in storage- such a tremendous improvement! But. Still those girls with glasses in the bath. Can you imagine 3 in their all lined up?
I bet your Inteligender was wrong. That test is crap. Whose idea was that anyway ;)
oops. That's me.
I was cracking up at "Ryan's" comment, and laughed even harder when it was really Lacey. So Congrats on that new baby news. I am apparently behind. Isn't Ellery only two days younger than my Vivian? I am so not there yet :)
Yeah!! Your kitchen looks so much better! I am glad that you finally got a nice one- although we grew up with such a crappy one in LA- we should almost be used to that...almost.
Your girls are darling- I love the sunglasses in the bath!
I missa my Missa!!!! Love the kitchen change. The importance of counterspace should never be underestimated.
Your family is so darn cute! We need to get together! And, later in life, my boys can woo your girls.
What are you having? I'm due in June with a girly!!
Love you!!!!
The kitchen looks wonderful!! I am so glad that it is finally finished.
Congratulations on the new baby -- I had figured that you were expecting again. I am so excited for you!
Wow!!! That is so fun!!! I love the kitchen!! And your girls! They are getting so big and so dang cute!!!
Your kitchen really is the result of your creativity- You've always been the closet thing to Martha I'll ever know. Everything you touch is gold! It's beautiful- It will never be called the "Devils Spawn" again! I love the girls in the tub picture. Miss you!
