Hey, Susan! Thanks for the "hello." I didn't know if my name would be recognized! I'm actually always around, lurking, just don't post. Too tired by the end of the night.
Kitchen is, believe it or not, at about the same position it was when I last posted pictures

. I'm still not happy with the layout, don't want to buy handles if I need different cabinets, don't know which cabinets....BLAH!!!
Boy is off at college and doing great! He LOVES it there. We were actually out in your neck of the woods in November (and will be out there next November as well. That's when the school has parent's weekend). As a matter of fact, the sister that I posted this inquiry for lives in your neck of the woods......Woodbridge! Talk about a small Ikea world.
