The Kitchen is finished (almost)!

After what seemed forever, the kitchen is 99.9% finished. The only thing left is a plug plate (which will proably be the hardest thing to find ever) and cabinets over my washer/dyer.

I have an 18 yr old galley kitchen and not a large enough budget for construction. We kept our original cabinets since they were in good shape and offer a lot of storage, even in the small kitchen. I cleaned them very well and used quite a bit of old english to spruce them up.

Great job!! It looks wonderful. Do you like your counter depth, french door frig? We are building and that's what I'm thinking about getting, not completely sold on the counter depth yet. Would love to know how you like it.
