My Favorite Room...

...in our new house is...my kitchen! I never thought I would hear myself say that - but then again, maybe that's because my craft room isn't completed yet (check out yesterday's post to see the status on that). Plus, do you remember the kitchen I had in our last house - click here to view - and the 5 rentals we had before that were no better - no wonder the kitchen was my least favorite room for a long time!

Anyway, my new kitchen is awesome! I love the vaulted ceilings, the space, the island, the view, the hardwood floors, and the open floor plan. Here it is the day we moved in...

...and here it is after many hours and coats of paint, and new appliances! The color is called VaVaVoom - that says it all! I really love the red walls and black appliances with the beautiful hickory cabinets.

The fridge before was way too small for a family of 6 - it is now serving as an extra fridge in the basement! I LOVE my new double oven - so handy!!! And the over-the-range microwave is always nice. I would really like to change the top to my island eventually - I'd like to extend it to make it larger and more comfortable for seating. The kids and I have already done many cooking projects on this island - I love it!

So there's a peek at one of our new house projects - thanks for visiting!
