We're getting our kitchen remodeled. It's going to be beautiful. Just as SOON as its finished...
I looked the other day. It was April when we started looking into what it would take to get into this mess. That was six months ago.
We met with contractors, we met with kitchen design people, we made our decisions, and we started buying all the things.
We also told the contractors we would do our own demo, just to save some cash.
Long story short, our house has been a disaster for months. 18+ boxes on cabinets hanging out in the hallway, the 8' x 3', 400 lb. butcher block counter top in the hallway, all the plates, pots, and pans out of the kitchen cabinets in boxes in the spare bedroom.
I'm grateful for the mess. I'm grateful for the mess. I'm grateful for the mess.... That's become my mantra. It's such a first world problem. Not even a problem, really. More of an annoying inconvenience.
It's going to be beautiful when it's finished. And I've learned a few things along the way:
We have the best friends. EVER. They came to help lift that countertop up and into our house.
Bathroom windowsills make excellent drying racks.
Boxes are awesome cabinets. And pantry. And storage.
They also make great cat trees.
The grill doubles as a toaster. Grilled bagels and smoked salmon FTW!
Soon enough, this whole mess will be over. Still can't wait. Bring on the kitchen warming party!!!! ...AFTER I figure out how to make flan in the new oven.
