Kitchen
Now We’re Cookin’
Our countertops have arrived and we now have a usable kitchen! Yippee! Remember what it looked like?
Here it is now:
And remember my little white birds? They ended up over here:
There’s still some work to be done, but the kitchen looks (and functions) SO much better!
Haha, Brandon.
