Kitchen remodel underway!

Our long-awaited kitchen remodel started on June 11th.  Should take about 6 weeks.  (Fingers crossed.)  We're opening the kitchen to the dining room and installing new floors, countertops, appliances, lighting and new cabinets.  This little kitchen hasn't had any TLC since someone installed a mauve laminate coutertop and matching tile floor 20 years ago.  The range and fridge are each at least 25 years old and the cabinets are original to the house - in other words, 75 years old!

Morning of Day 1 - last look at the old kitchen:



Goodbye dishwasher that hasn't worked in 8 years

 Goodbye wall



End of Day 1:

1938 cabinets gone!

Plaster gone!

 
Fridge in the dining room (and that's where it's going to stay for the next 5 or 6 weeks)


End of Day 5:
That back staircase on the left in eventually going to be our new pantry!
The wall between the kitchen and dining room is gone! 
Only the ducts remain - and they'll be gone next week.

    Hey kids, what a treat you're giving yourselves! I always watch these shows on TV, my favortite, as a matter of fact. I think it's probably more fun to watch than to live through, but it's so obvious how much you're going to enjoy it. Maria just told my yesterday that you had posted this, I'm a little behind but I'll stay tuned for updates. Love you, Aunt Marsha
