Kitchen Day #2

As if life isn’t frenetic enough right now, we figured we’d layer in some fairly extensive kitchen work to keep us on our toes. Arguably, the kitchen probably should have been the first room we tackled when we moved into the house 8 years ago, but we always found easier home improvement tasks to tackle. However, the faucet that squeaked while yielding minimal water pressure, the white floor that never looked 100% clean and revealed every crumb left behind, the microwave that required an occasional extra-hard push shut to function, the broiler-less 25+ year-old-oven, and, finally, the smurf-blue counter tops are meeting their demise this week.

Some of you were aware we’d be officially starting the project yesterday and have asked for some photos to track progress. Frankly, I’m too busy to show all the progress pics you may want, but here is a start. (Jennifer got a bunch yesterday during demolition that we may share at a later date.)

This is mid-day today after the new counter tops, sink and lights have been installed. Tile floor, back splash, appliances, faucet, etc to follow.

The counter tops are gray/white/black. Most everything in the room will be in that color scheme by the time we finish up.
