The pictures on the left are before shots.
anywhere from around 2000 – the after picture (2011)
Inside the doorway looking towards the sink.
Jennie and Autumn baking – I hope that they will enjoy cooking in our new kitchen.
Christy with our old curtains in the background – now I need to get our new curtains made.
This shows how we swapped the placement of the stove and the refrigerator.
The pantry.
The backdoor lock – we upgraded to a keypad on the new lock.
This shows the entrance to the basement that we used prior to the renovaton – filled in with wonderful cabinets and counter top now.
JUNK on top of the frig – not now with the 2′ wide deep cabinet.
View towards the back wall – much more open since we moved the refrigerator.
Sink area – the before counter top is not very representative – I usually never had it that clean and clear of junk.
The cabinet to the left of the sink.
Two of my little granddaughters
Autumn (left) is now 8 years old – V (right) is 1 1/2 yrs old.
View between the end of the cabinets and the dishwasher.
Autumn helping with dinner many years ago –

Close-up of the old desk (one of the occasional times that is was neat and organized) – the new office area.
Entrance into the basement (we kept this door closed with a recline in front of it (see below) – the orange walls were a whoops – stay-tune to see the real color.
The entrance to the basement – it will look even nicer when we refinish the wood.
