The "Green Monster" kitchen, before. This is the original kitchen from 1974, minus the appliances.
Halfway through our renovation, upcycled cabinets installed on top {By Kelly}
So, the reason you haven't heard much about Riva lately is because we've been up to our eyeballs in a kitchen remodel.
It has taken a lot out of us, and all the takeout and restaurant food has added a few inches to our waistlines :(
After 4-plus months, a lot of swearing, and help from family and friends, our "Do-It-Yourself" kitchen is nearing completion. We just have a few finishing touches to make, but overall, she's done.
The cabinets and sink were upcycled from another home that was being remodeled. The cabinets were a light oak and we painted them white. The flooring is porcelain tile that looks like hand-scraped wood planks, leftover from my parents' remodel (thanks Mom & Dad!). The Formica countertops and GE Artistry appliances are new. And her curtains match Riva's, leftover fabric from that job. (Thanks, Polly!)

Our kitchen, AFTER our DIY remodel. Still needs backsplash and moulding, but much better!
