Alright, here they are. The big reveal of the kitchen re-do. I beg of you, please bear in mind that this is most definitely a work in progress. Kindly erase the piles of junk and the chaos you will see in your mind’s eye. Focus on the bones, as they say.<\/p>\n

First, the new floors. I don’t find them “red” as Kevin and my dad kept saying. They have a very strong grain to them, however and I do not like how they look next to the existing cabinets. But that will be dealt with. Later.<\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

Next, the bathroom tile. Which I adore. Absolutely. What a difference from the crappy, err, junk linoleum that used to live here. I’ve already decided Kevin is doing this to every bathroom in the house. Poor man.<\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

And finally, the new cabinets that are half-way installed. I have called a truce on this project as it was far to destructive to deal with right now. We hung a new cabinet next to the sink in the former blank spot where the snack shelves used to live. This will be the size of all the kitchen cabinets -all the way to the ceiling, thankyouverymuch. The others, however, will have a sold panel door. My cupboard shelves tend to be a mite, err, messy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Then, the new kitchen desk. The cupboards are final but the base is still unfinished. It will, eventually, have a countertop and be the same width as the cabinets above with some lighting. But for now, you get the idea. After putting this in, I realized that this unit is the exact amount of storage I have in my kitchen – four cupboards and two drawer units. So with this addition, I will have doubled my space. Is that amazing or what? I love the beadboard doors up above. Those are actually separate and getting this whole monster to level together was a nightmare and then some. Turns out neither our walls or ceiling are level! Who knew? But I’m pleased as punch with the result.<\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

Now all I need is a countertop and I’m ready to go. Of course, I then have to replace the rest of the existing kitchen but that’s minor. Really.<\/p>\n

Sigh.<\/p>\n

Ok, that’s all I’ve got. You have work to do, Traci, so get to it! And Tutu, you seriously need to get Elmo to overhaul your bathroom. Seriously!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
