kitchen update

quick post here as we run out the door. the kitchen is coming along swimmingly. a couple weeks back, we decided to start renovating on the cheap. after a very successful trip to earthwise salvage yard, we came home with tons of cedar shelves from the old elliott bay book store. sidebar: pioneer square's loss is definitely pike/pine's gain. it's so close to us now and a neat space. yipee!

so, here we begin with a relatively blank slate, after removing some ridiculously dinky cabinets that had no place in the house.

we went with yolo colorhouse (stone 6) - available at ecohaus

the shelves go up
the brackets are "L" braces
we like the semi-industrial/unfinished vibe they give off.

full shelves!

so that's it for now. we desperately need a new light fixture, have to put up crown moulding. oh, and refinish the wood floors we discovered resting underneath a layer of vinyl and plywood.
