No cooking yet in the kitchen

The mckinley kitchen is progressing.  Slowly.   I go through spurts where I work every day...then I go through a spurt where it's a few weeks between work.  

I started by making templates of all my walls, ceiling and floor.  Then I pondered and pondered and pondered the placement of the kitchen appliances.   

Once my decision was made I realized that I was going to definitely have to make some custom cabinets.   


My handiwork is not the highest quality...but with little or no extra money it works for me.  And it's fun!!!!


Oh yes....I decided I needed an upper cabinet on the back wall.  (I decided uppers on the side wall above the sink would box in the room a bit too much for my liking!)


Ahhh much better.     

I painted the window seat in preparation for some pillows /cushions.  

I also in one of my brief hiatus' got this amazing little piece for the kitchen.  



And I have now added in the white walls and ceiling...and the tile flooring.  I have the cabinets and kitchen appliances in place for View/affect.     



From there it was one tiny leap to put in the counter tops and actually install everything!   Woohoo!!!



Trim work....and clean and get curtains for the windows...cushions for the window seat and then the little things like food...pots and pans....canisters...etc!!!!  It's rolling!!!  

Maybe I had best get planning in my head my next room in the mckinley!!!!

  2. The McKinley has always held a place in my heart and I think that your McKinley 50's kitchen is Adorable! Your well thought out floor plan has maximized the limited space in your kitchen and I LOVE the colour scheme!
