The new kitchen

This is what the kitchen looks like now. We removed many of the old plain, maple cupboards and replaced then with:

• A Victorian store counter, with a white marble top
• A Civil War-era store cupboard
• A Victorian short cabinet, with a 2-inch thick marble top
• A Victorian glass-front food pantry, from an old girls' school in Louisville

We also have removed the border, which visually hightened the room, as well as brightened it, and added an old butcher block (which looks like a table in the photo above). It is being used as a small 'lunch' table, in the kitchen.
