We now have a ceiling, drywall, and wood flooring in the kitchen.
Then, the cabinets came in!
Paneling for various things:
My new pantry (I had a shelf before):
Today my new stove and my new fridge will magically appear and be installed. Soon, I will have a sink and dishwasher. Then? Then my friends, I will be in cleaning heaven.
Oh yes. I have reached that stage where all I want is to live in a clean house without the dust that keeps settling. I have lofty ideas of running the dishwasher with every single one of my dishes before I put them in their new homes. I will mop until my back is permanently hunched. Furniture will be moved and moved again until it’s just right and corners are clean.
You think I’m kidding, but I’m not. Husband and I sleep in our room at night, but every morning we are invaded with various workers and I am forced to seek the privacy of the playroom. I shuffle the children upstairs and think of various activities to do until we can safely come out without getting in the way. The last time I cleaned, the kids were in school. It became so fruitless I gave up. I tried dusting a few days ago, but two hours later it looked like it had snowed.

How exciting! Looking good.
Love it! Love it!
I hope you know that ANYtime y’all are feeling cramped, you can come over here. And I really do mean that.
So envious of your remodel. Our kitchen is the size of a shoe box. A toddler shoe box =( Enjoy your cleaning frezy-I’d be the same way!
Blessings~
oh, how exciting!! hey, is the “open-door” policy (garage door) still there? just curious. I can’t wait to see the finished product. you must be a bundle of energy.
Hang in there. It’s going to be beautiful! That floor is exquisite.
Gack. Living amidst home improvement projects is no fun. It sounds like it will be GORGEOUS when it’s done, though!!
Oh I’d revel in the mess if it meant getting a new kitchen.
It looks fantastic thus far.
Always a good thing to have a ceiling. Looks like it is coming along, and you know it will be worth it in the end. The floor is just lovely, by the way.
Hang tight Chili. The end is near! (And I want a weekend invite to come party in the new, clean kitchen!!!
Can’t wait to see it…you guys are so ambitious with your home improvements!
FUN!!! (and glad it’s you and not us
Any ideas why your blog isn’t “remembering” my personal info?
And, tonight while I blog hop, I’m seeing similarities among some of my favorite bloggesses…
We, too, are beginning a kitchen renovation…nowhere near the magnitude of what y’all are doing, but cool to see your progress.
I feel your pain!!! We just moved into an old farm house on 5 acres. The former owner had 2 big dogs and 3 cats. In the house. I swear I’ve cleaned up enough animal hair to make another animal! We close the deal today. Where is the phonebook so I can call Stanly Steemer???
You are so lucky! Almost there. My house still consists of just two bedrooms and a semi-covered area with a dirt floor for the kitchen!
What total fun! And what complete mayhem! It will all look fabulous, I’m sure, and you’ll feel SO good when it’s all over.
A brand-new kitchen
With envy I’m filled
I know how hard
You both have drilled
It’s looking so good
I’m inspired, I must say
I want recessed lights
I want them TODAY!
Congrats, Chili…it’s looking great!
Gosh, I was going to just leave a comment and then I saw the last one. How am I supposed to compete with iambic pentameter? Talk about inferiority complex . . .
I know your kitchen’s been torn up for a while, so I figured you’d know a thing or three about dining out and I tagged you for a little meme.
I thought kitchens were remodels only took 30 min. Oh wait, that’s only on HGTV. Can I skip past the commericals and see the finished kitchen? Wouldn’t that be nice!
Blessings,
