our kitchen - before

The kitchen before we started the renovation work. The linoleum was peeling off the floor. The cabinets, while pretty in a way, were not our style. The paint was blah. The benches were a little too busy for my tastes. And the ceiling fan's pull chain was broken (and it wasn't connected to a switch anywhere, to boot).

 

This was taken slightly after work had begun, which is why there are no appliances or a kitchen table in sight.

Done
