We are finally done with our kitchen remodel! We began this project nearly 4 months ago, but since the work was primarily done in the evenings and on the weekends, it has taken awhile to complete. Will has done ALL of the work himself = design, demo, drywall, flooring, cabinetry (he built the cabinets from scratch), installation of the butcher block countertops & glass tile backsplash, and everything else (with a little help from me here and there). Here are some before and after photos, including some photos of the way the kitchen looked when we moved into the house in 2006.

| shortly after moving in, we painted the cabinets and cut an opening in the wall between the kitchen and living room |
