Ahhh, that's better!
There's so much more light and space in this kitchen now
{plus more storage which is always helpful!!}.
It is an Ikea kitchen, so it didn't come without it's headaches!
We ordered the cabinets right when we moved in,
which probably shouldn't be done until you're at least ready to install...
but it was a good thing we did
because they discontinued the cabinets by the time we were ready,
so at least we got the ones we wanted!
However, the bad thing is....
you have the cabinets sitting in boxes for months in the garage,
and one day when you decide to move them inside, you realize -
no Ikea, you did not deliver my order!!!
So months later we have to go back and deal with the wonderful hassle that is Ikea.
We also needed to change a size of one upper cabinet,
which is heartbreaking when the doors no longer exist...
thankfully, we needed a smaller sized door, so we {husband}
cut the bigger one we had to fit.
In the end, it all worked out and that's all that matters!
We are now Ikea kitchen masters!!
{or so we think, until the next one throws us new surprises!}
