The new kitchen

So, the new kitchen isn't a whole lot bigger than the old one, but it's a lot better!  We recently moved from an apartment to a home and I was hoping to find a place with a huge modern kitchen.  Needless to say, that's not realistic for a home in the city with our budget, so I had to make some compromises.  It's still a gallery kitchen, but there's a ton more room.  I couldn't get the whole kitchen in this picture, so it is bigger than it appears.  I welcomed back a full size refrigerator, stove, and bigger sink.  I'm also thankful that I have a working dishwasher that doesn't leak.  I was able to take my fancy cooking equipment out of storage and actually include it in my cabinets and I have plenty of work space to roll out dough.  What's best is that more than 1 person can cook in this kitchen and not bump into each other! 

However, it needs major updating (as you can tell, the cabinets are back from the 80s) but it works and I'm very happy with it.  What's better is that we have a separate dining room and I can entertain large parties again!  In short, this kitchen is a thousand times better than the old and I'm loving it!
