Kitchen REVEAL!

VOILA!!!!! Here it is! The big reveal! It took 2 LONG months to get to the "end".  We still have a couple of things to go, but I'm calling it done for now.  This is an actual before picture.

And that's                                                       what started the planning.  We used the IKEA kitchen planner online so when we went we already knew what we needed! Originally we wanted white cabinets because we thought our kitchen was too small for darker. AKA the gray that I LOVED! *Our original cabinets were particle board, counter tops laminate, floor vinyl*                                After we got our tax return, that is when we planned out visit to IKEA.  We
