When we bought our home a year ago, the potential of the home was just to much to pass up! The home was beautiful but needed a freshen up big time! Today we start the process of my dream kitchen! It's DEMO day! I couldn't be more giddy! I'm sharing all the fun on Instastories if you want to see some behind the scenes!
Here is a before image from last night. All ready for a wipe out!
I've spent the past few days moving everything out of our living and dining room and everything out of the kitchen! We luckily have a spare room in the back of the house that we have made into our makeshift kitchen for the next 5-6 weeks. Everyone has been warning me of the hideousness of living without a kitchen but we are looking at it like an adventure! Sorta like camping! I've set up a table in the back room with all my breakfast and lunch making supplies for the girls and they had a little picnic breakfast this morning. I plan to do a lot of grilling for dinners and sunny back yard lunches. I'm actually looking forward to it!
So here is what is happening with the kitchen. We envisioned an open concept for the living and dining room. Our kitchen is a galley style and was really dark. It has oak cabinets on both sides and white tile countertops. Lots and lots and lots of oak!!!! No thank you!!!! We are replacing the oak with clean white shaker style cabinets, clean white with grey veined countertops ( most likely quartzite) and gold hardware. We are replacing all our appliances which is really exciting too!
Here are some of the inspiration pics I've been pouring over!
