Happy Anniversary and Birthday Bart!

BEFORE:
This is after they tore out the laminate and the nasty linoleum was still needing to be torn out...

The flood under the Dishwasher... "Thanks Alpine!"




The old floor, which really wasn't looking that awesome anyway...

AFTER:
Bart made the old counter an Island and installed wheels so we can roll it. He also drilled into the cement so that I could have an outlet coming from the floor for easy access to the island. It was lots of hard work! You can see a close up of the tile here too...

Our new countertops... The old ones were not very pretty! Bart installed a new stainless sink, dishwasher, stove, tiled the floor, re-did most of the trim, made a new island from our old counter...etc.

This was where the fridge used to be and Bart has already made shelves in here for a pantry. We just are waiting to find the right doors...

The island and counter top...











Here is the new Stove... I love it. SOO glad to not have to worry about me or my kids getting blown up, if I want to bake anything!

I can't tell you how much better the tile looks. It is beautiful... what can I say? Many long hours were put into this floor:




Last week we celebrated our 5th Anniversary, and both of our Birthdays... I decided that I would post all of the remodeling done on our Kitchen as a tribute to what a wonderful man I married. Bart did an amazing job on fixing everything up. I am so impressed with how hard and fast he worked so that we could get back to normal as soon as possible. My husband is so talented and really can fix anything. He is very detailed and precise and always makes things look good. He can organize things 100 times better than me, and he is so determined and never quits. I am very proud of him. I know he is a great leader and father and I am happy we get to be together. I love you, Bart!
