Okay, our house has a pretty good sized kitchen. It’s not huge, but it’s a good size. An average person would be just fine in it. But with my balance what it is, it’s really large for me. When I cook in it, I feel like I’m going to fall backwards. And it’s hard to carry things across to the other side. So I got this great idea to put in an island. Shannon wasn’t excited about it because, again, it’s not a huge kitchen. And trying to match cabinets and countertops would be really hard…
The kitchen before
But he caved and said okay. And Luke offered to help me in the countertop department!
My Christmas present from Luke (and Nicki) 🙂
Then it was off to pick out the island. We found the perfect match to our cabinets at the discount warehouse in Arthur.
The boys waiting. They weren’t allowed in the warehouse. I LOVED it.
Then it was off to pick out granite. This was sooo much fun!!
Lukie did all the work on our island top.
Even installed it!
See? It fits! (I need a better pic! I just saw that the faucet is in the way of the island!)
I absolutely love cooking in there now. I have stability and extra counter space! 🙂 Thanks, Shannon for understanding (and not even complaining one time with it in there!)
