Kitchen Update

I took myself shopping today at Lowe's, our local do it yourself hardware kind of store and invested in a new kitchen sink faucet.  The old one was worn, and beginning to leak.  It was also difficult to move to the left and right, I believe the o'rings inside were corroding.  (The house sat empty, unused for about a year before I bought it.)  After getting by with it for two years, it was time!  



Installing this brushed nickel Moen faucet wasn't too bad.  Taking the old one off was harder than putting the new one in.  

In the upper right portion of this picture, you can see the main dishes cupboard was painted today.  Originally there were only two shelves in this cupboard, and frankly, in order to put away dishes, you were constantly restacking them.  So we picked up some boards today to add two more shelves in this cupboard.  I think it will help the organization of things a lot. 









But it looks great :)









As far as the kitchen cupboards, its a process to the whole painting, but this is one section that's relatively finished.

This will be my Pyrex cupboard.  
I love finding old Pyrex at 
Goodwill or thrift stores, 
even antique stores if I'm out that way. 

Still debating about leaving the cupboard door 
off or not to show off my treasures. :)

Still a long way to go on finishing the kitchen, 
but it will be worth it in the end!
