Kitchen in a box... several boxes.

when we last left our heroes they just got news they were pregnant and set a goal to complete various improvements to the hobbit-hole before junior arrives. the melissa was promised a new kitchen as her valentines day present... so begun project 1.

first order of business was window shopping and planning out what was needed and how things were going to be oriented... a task that I conveniently left to the receiver of the new kitchen. we got new Maytag appliances to match the newer refrigerator we already have including: a new stove, since the old one required that we use a match or one of those bbq lighters to ignite the range, a microwave hood/fan, since... well we didn't have one, AND a dishwarsher, because we didn't have one (unless you count me... and that dishwasher is tired of dishwashing).

might have be OK with just new appliances... but why stop there?

since we're the doityourselver types, we went ikea with the new cabinets. hey... it's cheap and everything you need is right there. i know it's pressboard but we don't plan on being here our WHOLE lives. :) with the baby on the way, that's one less room!
