The piecemeal kitchen
It’s been just over a month since I last wrote about the kitchen remodel. Lest you think the project is in shambles, a photo:
I have cabinets! (And a power tool!)
It’s been a busy month. With the exception of the week that I spent visiting friends in Portland, my husband and I have been spending every weekend and a couple of hours each evening working on the kitchen. So we now also have walls (textured and painted!), a lovely fakewood floor, base and wall cabinets, counter tops, a sink (no disposal yet though) AND a working oven. The fridge is also back to it’s proper home, and I’m just starting to get used to not having to put on my shoes to go out into the garage to grab a yogurt or cold soda. (Excellent.)
Now it’s just a long list of little jobs: Putting up trim (lots of trim), getting the electrician to finish the outlets/wiring, installing the dishwasher and over-the-range microwave, shopping for new light fixtures and moving our dinnerware and cooking gear into the new cabinets.
I can’t wait.

I like what you did in your kitchen cabinets. Looks like you use a fine material on your cabinets, its very elegant. Have you ever thought of getting an advice or help to an expert? I’m sure they’ll give you more ideas.

What fun to see pics of our former kitchen all torn up and being re-built! You bought that house from us in ‘01, and yes, the kitchen was definately in need of a re-do! I’m glad to see it’s finally getting a makeover, and I hope you enjoy the results. Looking forward to seeing the finished project!
Have you changed the second floor at all? That was our favorite part of the house, and the whole reason we bought it!
