Kitchen Renovation Part 1

Justin and I spent the majority of 2007 working on different DIY projects around our home. The kitchen has been by far the biggest project we have taken on. We are getting so close to finishing up. This is what all we have accomplished so far...
Justin started by removing the old flooring. Notice he is not wearing the proper attire for the job. Shoes would have prevented the nasty cut he got on his foot. He makes his own rules.
We decided to put down hardwood floors in the kitchen to warm things up. He's never done this before but you wouldn't know it watching him. What can I say, he's the master.
While Justin was installing the new floor, I was down in the garage painting all the cabinet doors. That's three coats front and back...all while sitting on a bucket.

Then Justin and I painted the cabinets. This was an oil based paint and we stayed high as kites for days. It was all worth it.

Justin added all new hardware to the cabinet doors.

After all that hard work and money spent, we decided to stop here and take a break for a while.

Next on the agenda is replacing the counter tops, appliances, and adding a back splash. Between the kitchen and baby's nursery, these past few weeks have been nonstop work around the Harrison house. My hardworking husband is finishing up on the final touches as we speak and I will be posting pictures of the new improvements very soon!
