The start of my new kitchen.


So for the last few months my hubby has been spending all of his free time away from me.  No not doing anything bad, he's been spending all the time he has teaching himself how to be a master woodworker (I admit that kind of does sound bad, lol).  No but seriously he's been building us custom cabinets.  About a year ago we started talking about replacing the old cabinets and after looking around and pricing different locations he says to me "hunny I think I can build them myself".  I tried to be supportive but also tried to talk him out of it.  I know he can do anything but at the time he had never done anything like it.  I just knew it wouldn't be easy. 
After a few months of debate back and forth of whether we should buy or build, he won the battle.  So slowly he researched and gradually bought tools, and in September he got an amazing monetary gift from his parents and was able to but the majority of the rest of the supplies he needed to build (in completion) the base cabinets.  And after him spending 2 months in the garage I am proud to show some pictures of my new cabinets.
      Before looking let me warn you... (even though I love my little house) my kitchen Is mighty small.
New base cabinets without drawer fronts and counter

my beagle Simon just had to be in this picture, lol.

This will be the color of our new counter that should arrive in a little over a week

Last but not least the cabinet with wine rack above the fridge, I have to add that last year my hubby removed a wall in our house and built this fridge nook in its place.
And because I've been a bad blogger and never posted after out trip to Michigan last month i'm including a few pictures from our weekend away.
