Kitchen è Finita!!

By sunshineandholly on June 24, 2011

Yes, that’s right – the kitchen is FINISHED! Can you believe it? I can’t…it seems crazy that we actually finished such a huge project. And I’m SO happy with how it turned out! Here are some pics from our super fun “Kitchen Open House” where we showed off our hard work to all our friends and family!

My Week off from Work in Pictures

By sunshineandholly on January 8, 2011

My 11 days off were fabulous!!!

I snuggled with my pups.

I went out with friends and drank yummy tiramisu martinis.

Josh and I made an extremely unhealthy but incredibly yummy Christmas morning breakfast.

I watched Jack tear into some presents from Santa.

I spent time with my family, including my adorable niece and nephew.

I opened my Christmas present from my sister, only to realize we had gotten each other the exact same thing!

I played Life with my husband…and I had twin girls. 🙂

I went out for New Years and had yummy drinks and even got to dance.

I helped Josh start installing the laminate flooring in the den. (Can’t wait to have my house put back together!)

It was awesome! Can’t wait until my next long stretch of vacation time!

Kitchen Renovation – Weekend #1

By sunshineandholly on October 25, 2010

We started the kitchen renovation this weekend!

Step 1 – Wall off the breakfast nook to make a walk-in pantry/laundry room. (Our washer and dryer are in the basement right now – NOT convenient.)

My father-in-law is awesome. He threw the wall up in just a few hours. Josh and I will be breaking out the paint tonight. Then we’ll install the door later this week and cross this step off the list!

Plus – Our NEW refrigerator be delivered tomorrow!!! I am soooooooo excited!! It’s BEAUTIFUL!!

P.S. We HAVE to buy a new camera battery charger. I still can’t find our old one and I really want to take pics during the renovation. 🙁

Here are some pics taken with my iPhone – please excuse the quality…and please ignore the mess that is our kitchen.

Here is the rest of the kitchen renovation plan. (I’ll just be happy when it’s all over!)

Step 2 – Call the plumber and schedule them to come out to move the washer and dryer into the laundry room.

Step 3 – Tear out the old cabinets

Step 4 – Put together new cabinets

Step 5 – Install new cabinets

Step 6 – Have new countertop installed

Step 7 – Have new microwave, new wall oven, and old stovetop installed
