kitchen almost done & (giveaway)

the kitchen renovation
that started in december...
BEFORE christmas-
is almost complete!

there are small things
yet to finish but,
i see a light at the end
of that looooong tunnel
and you know what?
i am loving it!

my new metal bar stools
arrived in the mail today
and i could
not wait to open the box
and take a look!

next will be the hard task
of going through the things
that have been boxed up
since the beginning of the
remodel, and
do some purging!
the kitchen will not
only be all brand new
but, also cleaned & purged of
JUNK! HA!

i have been taking lots & lots
of pictures of the process...
soon and very soon
will come the
before and after post- :)

i am off to do some
touch-up painting
while the husband installs
my backsplash and pendant lighting.

whirlwind

yesterday is a blur
we drove and drove
and talked and talked.

we made it to the interview
with time to spare-

after a short hour
(yes, how crazy that they
made her drive for five hours
for an hour interview!!!)

we were on our
way again-
deciding to get on
the road and start
heading home-
we drove a little while
when we saw THE sign...
that made both of us smile,
our faces lighting up...

so
we took the next exit!


after feasting and refueling
both our bodies and our car...
we were on the road again-
arriving home at 11:30 pm.

while my daughter
and i were gone...
my husband and our remodeling guy
starting moving things out of
my kitchen-
they needed to empty
EVERYTHING in my cupboards
and
they moved the fridge...

stuff was EVERYWHERE!


(that is what i came home to
after driving round trip over 12 hours!)

this morning
the remodeling guy
was here again bright & early
cutting my cupboards and
the counter top.
sawing & drilling
making noise and
one huge mess!

my WHOLE kitchen is
totally torn up-
i mean dishes in the
front room,
pots and pans...
spices and syrup on
the dining table!
this is NOT the time to remodel
a week before christmas...
what in the world were we thinking?

i worked on cleaning
the cupboards out and sweeping
up sawdust
and trying to organize and i am
wiped out and this is just
day one of our remodeling!

i figure i am going to
have to live like this
for a couple weeks...

oh my!

all because
my hubbie bought me
a new stove, microwave &
dishwasher...
it just snowballed
from there!

i did take a few before pictures
and will make sure to take
lots when things are done.

i know it will be
SO worth it
in the end but...

right now i am living in a
torn up, messy house
and i can hardly think straight! LOL

have you ever bought
just ONE thing
and it snowballed from there?

sometimes one pillow
or one candle can make
me rearrange my whole living room!
tell me i am not alone!
