The Kitchen is done, sort of

I finally finished the half done projects in the kitchen - I painted and polyurethaned the backsplash, painted the wall (not in the pictures), got everything back in the cabinets and got the doors on. Here are the before and after shots and another view of the kitchen.


I broke down and ordered some new hardware today online because I found some inexpensive stuff. Plan A had been to spray paint the frilly brass stuff black as a temporary solution, and to save money by not replacing the hardware now because we hope to rip the cabinets out before too long and redo the whole kitchen. But since that will probably be years and I don't like the black hardware on the black cabinets, I ordered some.
