FINALLY! I got it all done and photos for you! Sorry that some are a little dark but I had to close the curtains to take a pic facing the back door. The sun is just too bright to keep them open for photos.
Thanks Jammin for the idea of a lighter color ceiling, I really like it.
When we need to re-paint rooms in the rest of the house, I'm going to do that to all the rooms.
OK here goes - click for full size image.
This is the cook-top with the new formica surrounding it. I see what Trudi means now about it being horrible there. You can see the swirls from wiping it down. You can't get rid of that either, even with a vinegar and water wash. The only way is to polish the backsplash and I wasn't up to doing that today.
This is the exact opposite of the cooktop, by the sliding door. This is where we have the shelf to feed the cats and the dog and water under it.
Here is the same view only looking toward the outside door -
And another view of the back of the kitchen
And my new "coffee station"
All coffee, tea and hot chocolates are in the cabinets above. All the spices were in there but they are now in the thin cabinet next to the microwave.
