FINALLY!!! KITCHEN-REMODEL PICS POST!

Hello, everyone!  Hope all's well in blogland.

I've still got my hands full but, at least, hubby's coming along.  Although I still have some burdens to bear within my family, everything else that's now no longer of immediate importance is coming under some control but I'm still busy, very worried, and doing a lot praying.

Amyway I've promised you long enough to get pictures of my kitchen-remodel posted, so I'm taking a few minutes to get it done.  My kitchen is small so I've tried to scan around the entire kitchen (because of the lighting the cabinets may look brown but they're actually black).  It may be better if you zoom in to see clearer:
 
 
 
All the cabinets are handmade, so they're one unit and there's another cabinet unit above the refrigerator on the other side of the room.  The picture below is a pantry they built for me that not only has shelves inside but one side also has room to store my mop, broom,  bucket, etc., so now I have plenty of cabinet space:
 

 
 
I LOVE this back door!  I selected it over some which were probably prettier to some, but I picked this one especially because the blind is between 2 panes of glass built into the door panel, so I'll never have to take down the blind to wash it (I absolutely hate cleaning window blinds):
 
 
I've added a few touches of red in the kitchen to compliment the red on the knobs of the stove:
 
 
Still haven't had time to really enjoy or finish embellishing my kitchen yet; I've only had time to cook a few meals  but I definitely enjoyed the dishwasher... lol!!!  Anyway, all the work is done and all that's left is for me to add my finishing touches when I get a chance.  Soon it'll looked "lived in".
 
Haven't done any crafting in 2 months now but did start a small project before sitting down to to this post and now I'm to finish it.  I even plan on taking some time tomorrow for more crafting and getting in some time to do some visiting.. YEEEAAA!!!  I can hardly wait!!!  I'll post my project as soon as it's done!
 
Love you, miss you, and...
 
I'll be seeing you!

Hi Audrey, I am completely jealous. Your kitchen is gorgeous. That black cabinet and the backsplash tiles are the BOMB! Get in there and cook up a storm.
I really enjoyed seeing your photos. Time to get back to your crafting. Love to see some of your projects.

Well, well well, I must say your kitchen came out gorgeous. Love the touches of red since I am partial to red. I agree about the mini blinds, that is such a chore and I DON'T LIKE cleaning them. I've seen those doors and windows that the blinds are encased and I think oh, how easy would that be to just have to clean the windows :) A friend told me to just throw them out after a few months and get new ones but who can afford to keep doing that, why just because they get dirty? LOL Glad to hear things are coming along.
