So after stressing about all the details (sweating the small stuff!) we finally started our kitchen renovation yesterday. Oddly this was not stressful. Getting everything packed up and out of there (the night) beforehand was crazy stressful. Our contractor was really sweet to leave us a working sink for as long as possible, though that may be until this afternoon. I think the plumber is on his way right now.
I know I need to go back and do a for real post on the kitchen before so there will be an even grander Aaahhh, Oooohhh when the final reveal comes but I need a day or two for that.
I'm excited (and nervous) that it's finally actually happening.
Also, we found a little piece of the original vinyl flooring under the cabinets. It's actually kind of cute in an early 80s vinyl flooring kind of way.
Lots of stuff happening here. Now I just have to be patient for it to look like a real room again!

I read somewhere that a remodel job can cause as much stress as illness, unemployment and other bad stuff. Been there, it's true. But my guess is having pups and music as mutual interests (and being smart cookies with senses of humor to being with) the discombobulation will be over before complete havoc sets in.

Oh my gosh, I am so excited for you! You should seen me the evening after our ONLY bathroom was demo'ed. We walked to the community clubhouse to use the bathroom for a few days once the toilet was gone and my sweet neighbor let us shower at her place (luckily, in condos, that means going across the hall).
ReplyDeleteWe were probably crazy to live here without a bathroom for a little while, but in the end, it was totally worth it.
Good luck! I still remember when my parents had our kitchen renovated when I was little. I thought it was awesome that we ate so much take out!
