Cupboards are in!

Here's the old cupboards and believe me this is all I had! There were only two cupboards below the counter and a set of 3 drawers. We had many pieces of furniture in this room, like microwave stands to hold stuff.
This is the new cabinets in the same place as the previous picture. Really! Are you sure? LOL The dishwasher will go in beside the stove. The corner cabinet in the bottom is extra as is the corner and tiny cupboard at the top, beside the window. In this picture I already have two extra cupboards than before.










This is beside the fridge where our microwave stand was. Below is 4 drawers for utensils. I only had 3 before. They are a nice blonde wood inside and almost double the width of my old drawers. The cabinet over the fridge is new and has a pull out tray so that I can reach the stuff in the back. I need a stool anyway LOL










I tried taking a picture of the window with the cupboards on either side but with the bright sunshine it came out black so I am standing down the stairs and looking into the kitchen that way. The two cupboards top and bottom are new. I had a portable cupboard here that served as my pantry. This area will be my coffee station.

I will have almost double the amount of counter space, despite having 1.5 sinks. The half sink is for cleaning veggies etc.
The man has to come and measure and make a template for the counter top, which will be dark blue to match the floor. I was lucky and found the "exact" same pattern. The handles on the doors are silver/gray.

Jack is installing the lights under the counter that will go over the dishwasher area. We are putting ceiling pot lights over the future sink. Of course the new window still has to go in. The workman couldn't get over how bright the room was with the solar tube!
