Finally finished!

When we began our kitchen remodel three months ago we had no idea it would take so long; however, friends have told us that 3-5 months is not unusual so I guess we did pretty good.  Here are some photos of the finished product.  We're very pleased with the end result and will enjoy our "new" kitchen for years to come.
 We opted for mission style and refacing/resurfacing rather than completely new cabinets--a big money saver! We also went with porcelain tiles for the new counter-top and back splash--more rustic look that was cheaper than granite and went well with mission style.
Once it's time to replace the dishwasher and stove we'll replace them with stainless steel appliances.
Our contractor custom made this pantry and all the new cabinet doors and drawer fronts.  We love the freezer/refrigerator side by side.  They are separate units but look good together.
A year and a half ago we retiled our entry way floor and were lucky enough to find enough additional tile of this discontinued line to do the floors in the kitchen and the laundry room so it's one continual flow of tile.
