Kitchen Renovation Weekend #8
By sunshineandholly on January 28, 2011Geez! When are we going to finish this kitchen?!?! It feels like it’s taking forever!
The weekend before last (Jan15th) we we finished up most of the flooring. Just one row left! Too bad it’s the hardest row since you have to cut every piece of laminate lengthwise…which is why we still haven’t finished. Boo.
Last weekend we hit up Ikea and bought the EXPEDIT bookcase in white. We decided to use this for shelving in our pantry instead of building shelving or buying cheap looking wire shelving. And I have to tell you, it looks AWESOME! I painted the wall behind the bookcase a butter cream color (so pretty!) and then loaded it up with food, paper towels, dishes, bake wear, and all the other crap I haven’t been able to unpack since we’ve moved because I have a ridiculous amount of that kind of stuff and not enough storage! 🙂
Anyway, here’s some pics!
Pantry
Stocked up!
Pretty yellow!
6 foot tall by 6 foot wide.
The redneck way we’re venting our dryer. 🙂 Gotta call the heating and air specialist soon!
New tablecloth!
Kitchen with the pretty new flooring.
Other view…man we’ve got to get the ceiling painted. It’s ugly!
Still needs lots of work!

Kitchen Renovation Weekend #7
By sunshineandholly on December 22, 2010
WOW!!! Look at my new stainless appliances and my beautiful granite! I feel like a rich person! 🙂
So after a month and a half, I finally have a functional kitchen. It’s still not pretty (LOTS of work left to do) but at least I can cook again. Which will be great for my waistline – I’ve gained WAY too much weight eating out so much!
Still left to do:
Trim (near the ceiling and under the upper cabinets)
Kickplates
Go to Ikea to pick up the 2 drawers they didn’t have in stock when we first got our cabinets (where the blue tub is sitting in the picture)
Backsplash
Drywall & paint around window
Replace trim around window
Flooring
Repair/paint the ceiling
Lighting
Uggg – the To-Do List really points out how much more we have left to do…one of these days we’ll get it finished!
Oh, and P.S. – installing all the appliances, adding a new electric outlet and moving the electric work for the dryer only cost us $140! Def keeping the contact info for this electrician! Super affordable!

2.5 more days until FREEDOM…sweet freedom!
By sunshineandholly on December 21, 2010Yeah, that’s right. Only 2 and a half more days until I have 11 straight days off from work. Eleven!!!!! Christmas Eve through the first Monday in January. AND that’s only using 4 vacation days! (Because that’s all I have left after using 5 in June and 1 in October. Boo.) I’m “working-from-home” on the 24th, taking the 27th as my Christmas holiday, using the 4 vacation days on the 28th through the 31st and then taking my New Years holiday on the 3rd! I can’t WAIT!
Since we’re not going anywhere, I’m making a list of fun stuff for me and the hubs to do during our time off. I’m sure we’ll work on the kitchen a lot too. (P.S. – the electrician is at my house RIGHT NOW installing my oven, stove, and microwave!!! I can’t wait to be able to cook again!)
I also need to start doing meal plans and setting some exercise goals. We’ve been eating out so much (since there’s no kitchen) and I’ve been too busy to do much exercising…I think I’ve gained 100,000,000 pounds.
Well, I’ve got lots of scanning to do, so off to the copy room I go.
Can’t wait until Thursday at 5pm!!!!!
