Kitchen is getting there

So we took the plunge and decided to redo the whole kitchen.

I'm super excited to have a nice new kitchen, but I am not excited about dealing without a kitchen. I crave baking, sautéing, mixing, chopping, blending, grinding, roasting, and having things in cabinets instead of boxes.

But we made a lot of headway this weekend. I assembled all the cabinets from Ikea and my dad and Kevin got most of them installed, as well as prepped the floor for tile. Next steps are securing the lower cabinets to the walls, installing the counter tops, and installing the sink.

Oh, how I miss having a kitchen sink.

Doing dishes in the bathtub = :(

I can't figure out how to get the photos from my phone onto my blog without lots of work, so just imagine a dirty, gross kitchen transformed to an empty kitchen with cruddy walls with unpainted sheetrock and old backsplash removed then transformed to the same space with about 2/3 of new cabinet frames installed.

Sink, oh sink. How I miss you.

Sorry for the lamenting.

That's our kitchen tale so far.
