The Creamer Kitchen is finished!

The Creamer family has endured four full months of packing, cooking out of a microwave in the garage, maneuvering around packed boxes, equipment, and construction supplies, and then unpacking (as well as any number of strangers running through our home at any time day or night) in order to say "We're Finished!!!!" Plenty of hard work as well as love went into the 14-year planning of this kitchen, and it is everything we hoped it would be. Many thanks to Bentz Remodeling, Out of the Woodwork, Tallahassee Fan & Lighting, Ferguson, Sherwin Williams, Tammy Burgess' Art and Texture, SeaTile, and a whole host of others contributed to the realization of this dream. Special thanks to the Mazerac family and Dad for feeding us and keeping us sane during a very stressful time. So, without further ado, here are the before/after pictures!

Creamer Kitchen Renovation Chronicles - Week 6 is Complete!

Week 6 is complete, and tonight George and the kids and I made our first home-cooked meal in our new kitchen. We have running water, electricity, a beautiful sink, countertops and appliances! Most of the major stuff is done, and just in time for Christmas. We still have a bit to go, but at least we can function again.
