Kitchen Reveal!

This is our house. 

It looks the same on the outside today as it did the day we saw it for the first time (although, obviously, a little less green). But the inside is a whole different story. Aside from some odds and ends over the next couple of weeks our construction is finally done, and it's time for the big reveal, complete with some "before" and "after" shots. I'll post all the rooms next week, but I'll start today with the kitchen, which is my most favorite, and certainly the most dramatic, of all the work that we did.

And I would be remiss if I didn't thank my incredibly talented husband. Not only is everything you see here entirely his vision, and not only did he build the kitchen cabinets with his own hands, but he also has spent the past two months overseeing workmen, running back and forth to Home Depot for supplies, troubleshooting the inevitable construction issues, running a company of his own, and generally being completely awesome. In the most literal way possible, he built us a home. A beautiful one.

A note: The "before" pictures are the ones that were part of the original listing, so what you see is what we saw the first time we walked into the house (when I said "no way" and D said "this is the one." How wrong I was). 

Drumroll please.
