Before we did the whole ‘try to smash up the cabinets but fail miserably’ thing on Saturday I made very sure to take a whole bunch of ‘before’ pictures. After all, I wanted to make darn sure I documented all those charming ‘features’ we’ve grown to love so well over the past year, so I can look back on them over the next few months as we deal with a construction zone where our kitchen used to be, and remind myself of exactly why we are putting ourselves through this (If you can’t see the slideshow below, you can find the photoset here).
