And for fun, here's lots more detail shots:
My custom designed spice shelf - probably one of my favorite things in the whole kitchen!
And of course, you've seen this before I think, but here's the craft room again with the new storage closet which used to be my pantry.
Ok, now some details for those who care:
- Start to finish (minus the bay window) was 4 weeks.
- We then had to wait another 2 weeks for the bay window to come in (Home Depot sent the wrong one)
- It took them 3 days to finish everything else once the bay window came in but they were all 1/2 days, mostly due to waiting for paint to dry.
- Counter space increased by 300%
- Cabinet space increased by 250%
- Craft room storage increased 100%
