Our Kitchen

So in this post, I alluded to all of the 'bad' parts about our house when we first moved in last year.  The list included things that were broken or missing or needed changing.  One area that didn't need any work (aside from granite sealing and a light fixture change-aroo) was our kitchen.  You might have a better understanding about why we were willing to take on a foreclosed home and all of its oddities after you see pictures of our kitchen:

And this glass display area needs to be rearranged and prettied up.

And this bookshelf needs a little organizational work as well:

Those minor tweaks aside, isn't she a beauty?
