Kitchen Update!

So glad you decided to stop by and check in on me! 

I thought I would provide a little update on the kitchen renovation. 

It is coming along nicely!

For the most part the remodel is done. 

We are (for the most part) moved back in. 

 And (for the most part) everything works just as it should. 

We are technically a little bit ahead of schedule. The 

counters came in quickly so that set us on an abbreviated 

path. Which is OK by me. 

The one thing that is not done is the lighting in the glass 

cabinets. Te originals didn't work and so special ones had to be ordered. 

But they are on their way and it won't be long before that part is finished

and I can move all of my blue and white dishes in. 

I'm still puttering around with the counter tops and taking more and more off. 

Keep what really makes an impact. 

That is starting to be my motto!

More Updates Soon!

Have a good week!

Update and the Ugly Truth!

 

Well! We are so far into this little project that I can no longer

post about anything else!

I just have to give you the update and the ugly truth. 

SO! Here we go!

For years, actually since shortly after moving into our home in

2003, I have wanted to make some major changes to our kitchen. 

We always had plans, but something always came up. This year

is it. It needs to be done and there is just no more putting it off. 

I really do like the floor plan and appliance set up. And the appliances we have 

kept updated as needed. However, the cabinets and counters left a lot to be 

desired. And further, have only gotten worse, no matter how much I "add" 

to the decor. 

I have drooled and dreamed over the same style of kitchen for years!

I you look at my Pinterest pages you will see a lot of this:

So now I'm sure you know the update. 

But here's the ugly truth:

This is what the kitchen looked like after "moving out".

Then at the beginning of this week, less the cabinets.

And currently with the base cabinets in. 

Real purty! huh?

Stay tuned for more!
