Organization

Posted by Mark:

Now that all my attention isn't focused 100% on a kitchen I finally get to branch out and take care of a few projects that have been festering in the back of my mind. One of which was the disorganization of my office, which doubles as my closet Specifically I was tired of my pile of shoes as seen below.


To fix my little problem I grabbed a piece of paper and drew a picture of what I wanted. After two nights, a sheet of partical board, 1/4 bottle of wood glue, and my trusty finishing nailer this is what transpired. Yeah for organization!!!

The Kitchen is done!

Kimmi and I are both of the belief that we are gluttons for punishment, for this actually is our second kitchen remodel. We redid the kitchen in our house up in Twin Falls but only got to enjoy it for two weeks before we sold the house and moved back to Salt Lake. That being the case, when we bought our place here in Bountiful we determined that the first project we would tackle this go around would be the kitchen so that we could enjoy this one a bit longer (many many years longer hopefully).

Anyway I am pleased to announce that after 10 long months and a lot of nights and weekends we are 100% done! And per our customary tradition upon completing a project I'd like to show off some before and after pictures.


Before:



After: We didn't keep a single thing from the old kitchen...just the layout.




I had a LOT of pictures I wanted to post about the kitchen's progress from start to finish but because of how many there are we thought it would be easier to just have a slide show. Enjoy. Oh and thanks to everyone's help (you know who you are) You know you've got good friends when they come help you with this kind of stuff.
