Kitchen is DONE!

Our kitchen remodel project is DONE! We started in July and finished the bulk of it and got it functional in September. Once the pressure was off it was difficult to keep the momentum going and finish all the details, but we finally got it done. Feels great, will be a great place for our family as the kids grow up.

Here's some before/after pictures





And some more pictures...

Brother-in-law Brian was a huge help during the project, I bounced a lot of ideas past him!

Because of the aforementioned plumbing in the soffits, I had to modify most of the cabinets.
