This photo is long over due but here is a picture of my Rivah Family at Thanksgiving! (missed you-trevor)I finally got tired of looking at white walls...so I let my Little(Jen) pick out the new bathroom color. I like yellow but this yellow turned out to be the color of the rubber gloves you buy at the grocery store for cleaning.

This was an empty recycling container before my holiday party this past weekend.
Well that's all for the christmas decor...this is a little snowman I made at work.
The old kitchen stove among the demo
The interesting space that was below the window but is no longer there
the freaky looking old ceiling before tearing it down
the exposed brick wall in the kitchen-hasn't been completely finished.
the back corner of the kitchen after the cabinets were taken down.
this is where the new microwave and stove will go
a view with all the cabinets in
the temporary plastic wall to prevent the dust going into the rest of the house
IT'S FINISHED!!! The new island
The new cabinets and appliances!! Got to love my double oven:-)
My favorite part is there is just enough space for my bike to be tucked away and out of the living room.
The new basement door
The cabinets around the old fridge...waiting on my new one
The whole picture!!!! There is still one cabinet missing to the right of the backdoor. The cabinet people had given me an 18inch and I needed a 21inch, which should be here next week. What's left to do in the kitchen for me....paint and hang the pretty curtains.
