my upgraded yellow kitchen!

Our contractor agreed to work with us for one more week after his Vegas project was canceled at the last minute so on the day his team demolished our bath, we gave him the go-signal to include the kitchen. Ours is a 2-way galley kitchen which measures about 9x11 feet so a week would be enough to do a face-lift.

Since we didn't prepare for it, Fil and i made the purchases from various suppliers in a rush without a concrete design plan. Nevertheless, i was pleased with what i saw when we went home last Friday 'coz all the materials put together created the dainty cheerful fresh and clean casual-style kitchen i've always wanted. I especially love the granite countertop, bamboo floor, the whisper quiet kitchenaid dishwasher, spacious refrigerator, the ceramic smoothtop electric range with convection settings and the yellow wall paint (we used BEHR wildflower honey) which provided a charming backdrop to the white cabinets which we got from IKEA.
Like most things IKEA, they're cheap but look really pretty and neat.

Too bad i wasn't able to take pictures of my old bland trapped-in-the-70s kitchen but here are the first photos of my new spiced-up favorite part of the house. It will get even spicier once i start bringing in the accessories and small appliances. Cook? Who, me?! Am i supposed to cook here? hahaha. Hmmm... Cooking and baking are not really my best skills but this updated kitchen and food blog will surely force me to give it a try.  Abangan!
