We are finally getting there...

We are finally getting to use our kitchen again. I cannot tell you how happy that is making my family. I really did miss cooking. I painted the trim this morning so that I could move the desk back into the kitchen. I am so excited!! I can finally use my Kitchen Aid mixer again. I will also to put my brand new toy in the kitchen. What new toy?? My favorite guy bought me a Cuisinart food processor. It has been sitting in the box for a month now waiting for a new home.

We did run into a small problem, ok big problem. The facing of my lower cabinets is shot. They are only made of plywood. They need to be completely redone. Well, since I couldn't put drawers or my lower cabinet doors back in they are all under the desk in the kitchen now. While I am loving the ease of putting things away without the cabinets doors, I am missing them as well. The kitchen looks a little cluttered with the open cabinets. I promise to post more pictures once I get the clutter off the cabinets.



We have also finished all most all of the bathroom painting. I did the trim in there this afternoon. I cannot get over how fabulous it looks. I will take pictures tomorrow after I get the new curtain up. We just need to redo our mirror and pick up a thing of two. Shh, don't tell dh. He doesn't understand the need for nice hand towels. :-)

The Reason Why I Did Not Follow My Menu

Because my kitchen looked like this on Friday......





They look like this after the primer..






My pantry is in the living room now.....



Tomorrow the cabinet doors and drawers will get painted. The walls will also be painted. I cannot wait. I cannot wait to get my living room & dining room back. My goal is to have everything put back in cabinet doors or not Tuesday night. I can handle not having doors, but

My kids keep asking me when I am going to make something other than sandwiches again. To view some more pictures click here.
