Kitchen Rehab

We finally tackled some kitchen projects and boy do the updates make a big difference. Our kitchen utensils are easier to locate and the extra counter space means that Josh and I can work together in the kitchen without bumping into one another. First we painted our kitchen mint green.

Voila! We hope you will come over and let us cook for you soon!
