a sneak peek at our new kitchen

This is just a sneak peek of a couple of my favorite things about our new kitchen.  It is almost finished.  There are a few little things to be added -  like the lighting, electrical outlets and switches, and a couple of big things  - like the countertop on the peninsula, backsplash, an over-the-range-microwave and a dishwasher. 

One of my favoite things is the display shelf over the kitchen window.  I've already decorated it with a few vintage items.

I love this shelf!  It is quite deep so it will hold large bowls.

There will be lighting under it just behind the valance to light up the sink area.

All these items came from my mother-in-law's house.

Another of my favorite things in our new kitchen is the sink!

It's a Steel Queen from a Quebec company called Richilieu.

The sink has 2 protective stainless steel grids.

It came with this fruit/veggie strainer and a removable stainless steel drainboard.

And

The other favorite part of the new kitchen is the china cupboard!

This was a challenging place to put things in because, well,

I have too many things!  So I saved my favorites and the rest

will go in a yard sale.  I know a lot of people use these cabinets

to display a few large items but I wanted it for my china cups

 and mugs.  So, there they are.  Messily stacked.

Aren't they pretty??  I just couldn't part with these.

So that's a sneak peek at our new kitchen.

I'll be doing a full post with before and after pics once everything is in place.

It takes a while for these things to come together as anyone who has

done a renovation or built a house knows. 

Stay tuned and check back for the full reveal!
