The area where the microwave was looks so much nicer as does the dining area. I love the oversized clock.<br /><br />When KC and I went house hunting (without telling Steve) she hated this house because it had berber carpeting throughout (including over the tile in the bathroom) and was decorated in a mismatch of furniture. She couldn't get past the decor. When Steve saw the house, he could see the potential and loved it. We have to have vision.

I haven't had to change anything thankfully as I'm tied up with work.. just a weary Xmas tree and scant gifts. Too much running around!

I wish I had a space for additional "table space" like you have. Yes, I do love art in the kitchen. I love kitchen art as well. Another thing that I don't have much room for. Are you living temporarily without a vent over the stove? We lived with a microwave hung too low like yours for several years before I finally couldn't stand it anymore and rebuilt the cabinets so we could raise the microwave 9 inches. I'm surprised that you are getting much decorating done at all since you haven't quite unpacked yet! Enjoy the holiday with your family and friends!<br /><br />karen@somewhatquirkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02772267613790523188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028673509424034947.post-9487716241803187022014-12-18T19:17:35.982-08:002014-12-18T19:17:35.982-08:00Leslie,

I have about the same amount of counter space as you, so I had a counter height table made for extra work space. I love the addition of beadboard to your walls and I hope to do the same this winter. The whole space looks wonderful already and the big windows are one of the best features!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your before and after and I hope you get the chance to bake some gingerbread cookies in style!<br />Vickie Vickie @ Ranger 911https://www.blogger.com/profile/12847126296813987337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028673509424034947.post-43714709498551880012014-12-18T17:36:40.009-08:002014-12-18T17:36:40.009-08:00I was shocked by the mess :)I was shocked by the mess :)Leslie Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367872267145012395noreply@blogger.com
