the good life in Nebraska has recently gotten even better! When we bought our house originally, we knew it would need all sorts of updating but the one thing it really needed was a kitchen remodel. Since this was the most expensive project (hopefully) we would do, it took a couple of years to get to the point we had saved up enough. We designed what we thought would work and we did the demolition including taking out a wall, and then hired a general contractor to make it all happen. We crossed our fingers that everything would look good together. And although it was a painful 2 months during the remodel and we would never ever hire the same contractor again, its hard to not be excited about our new kitchen because it is SO much better than the one we upgraded from. Its painful to look at the old pictures now - but i am posting some before and after pics so you can get excited for us too! I left out the in between pictures of our pain and suffering. :)
