The kitchen remodel has started.

I have wanted to remodel my kitchen since I bought this house a little over 6 years ago. I love it for its colors, but I hate everything else about it. The lack of counter space, the poor layout, the large unused spaces, the cupboards stretching to the 10 ft ceilings, etc...

So, the savings account finally agreed with my desire to remodel it. My friend Jaime's boyfriend, Ryan, is doing the work and it is going well so far.

Here are some photos pre-start:
