I’m really bad at being patient.
Especially when I have something really exciting that I want to share.
Yes, I’m talking about the new kitchen.
I’ve debated on waiting until each and every last detail was completed, but in reality, I’ll probably burst at the seams if I wait much longer!
So let’s first take a look back at the process from the very beginning…
The “BEFORE” pictures
The DEMOLITION…
Now finally, after almost three long months of never-ending dust, missing food, meals on paper plates, and washing dishes in the bathroom sink, I am proud to present to you…
Drumroll pleeeeease…
The New Sweet Tooth Kitchen!! 
Cody likes the new digs, too. 
A couple Before & After shots…
One of my favorite parts? The garbage cabinet!
I always wanted one of these!
For the doors, we chose to do a combination of handles for drawers and knobs for doors. We kept the design simple and sleek, to go with the rest of the room.
And in case you haven’t already noticed, I have a slight obsession with “Live, Laugh, Love” décor.
I absolutely could NOT be happier with my new kitchen! We still have a little trim work to do around the door and window frames, and I still need to find us a new kitchen table, but everything else is pretty much done!
I think I could live in this room.

Your kitchen looks beautiful. I especially love the J heart C nature pics! Where did you get them! I have been searching high and low all over the capital district for them!
From a vendor at the Country Folk Art & Craft Show that comes to HVCC!
It looks STUNNING!!!
I love it!
Wow! Your kitchen looks SO beautiful! I love the color of the countertops and the cabinets! The floor looks beautiful too! I am obsessed with Live Love Laugh stuff too! I also LOVE finding things to hang up or display that have my name on it, Hope. I can never find anything with my name on it so when I do, I always grab it!

WOW!!! Your kitchen looks amazing!!! I bet a lot of hard work went into that – was your hubby able to do a lot of the work himself? That makes such a big difference.

Yes, hubby was able to do quite a bit of it himself, which definitely helped us save money in the long run. He’s pretty handy to have around.
It looks great!!

Courtney — this looks Fab-u-lous! I love it! Sleek, classiic, contemporary, sharp! Yippee!
OMG your kitchen looks amazing!! You guys did an awesome job, congratulations! I absolutely love how you designed it and I love the wine rack and garbage drawer!! I’m for sure putting that garbage drawer on my list for our next kitchen – there’s nothing I hate more than our stand alone garbage!
And what brand is your microwave? We’re in need of a new one, our Kenmore went on the fritz!
Oh my gosh Courtney, it looks AMAZINGGGG! I’m uber jealous and we need to plan a baking date soon to use all those beautiful appliances

WOW WOW WOW! It looks a MILLION times better! I can’t believe how different it looks- you would never be able to tell that was the same space. I LOVE all of the colors you picked- like for the cabinets & the counter tops! CONGRATS on everything! I think I WOULD live in there- haha

It’s beautiful, Courtney! And how nice to have a snow day to blog about it!
Just FYI, I recently got this kitchen table off of Amazon. It’s pretty nice (for the price!) & would definitely fit with your decor . . . in case you want to check it out!

Oh, Courtney! I absolutely l-o-v-e your kitchen!! It’s beautiful! What a process you’ve been through – I felt like you moved it right along…although you probably felt like it was never going to end!
Hahaha…I definitely had my days!
Your kitchen looks beautiful!! I can’t imagine how happy you are! So glad that you don’t have to wash your dishes in the bathroom sink anymore!

Me TOO!
Looks beautiful and so much more functional than before!! Good work! You are lucky you have such a handy hubby!!
Yes I am!
The kitchen looks amazing!! I love the before and after photos! I really like your flooring…is it ceramic tile?
Karen recently posted..Heavenly Goodness
Nope! It’s actually laminate flooring, which is MUCH easier to install, not as cold, and much easier on anything you might drop on it. I love it!
How exciting! What a great looking kitchen! Just think of all the fun you’ll have in there

Glad you don’t have to use the bathroom sink as your dishwasher anymore
Oh wow Court!! This is beyond gorgeous–I am jealous! It was definitely worth all the demolition. Your hubby did a super job! I think you owe him a delicious meal in your new stunning kitchen!
WOW! Awesome kitchen, Courtney! I’m so jealous! It is absolutely beautiful. Enjoy!
