Adding onto the kitchen

The kitchen is a pretty decent size, but one section in particular is really small - the area between the fridge and the pantry. It measured about 17 inches wide; about all we would put there was the coffee machine, and even that was tight.


When we decided on putting new countertops, we thought it was the perfect time to add some countertop space. We closed over the existing door (again, i have Josh to thank for his help there) and then had some new wall and base cabinets made (done by Santiam Cabinets in Albany, Oregon - good people).

While the cabinets were being built, Susie painted the kitchen a great blue color.


We had the cabinets installed on Thursday and the countertops on Friday. I don't recommend having the two installs that close, but i'm glad it worked out.

I'll save the finishing touches for a later blog entry ...
