kitchen remodel begins!

a few friends have cautioned me that i really might lose my marbles if i went ahead with a kitchen remodel pregnant, with a toddler. but i couldn't picture it getting any easier waiting until i had two little ones roaming around. so this weekend we began, what i hope will be, a great kitchen remodel.

the first part, i was convinced was the easiest. i mean, all we were doing was pulling down the old stuff. i was gone this weekend when justin began. that wasn't an oversight or an accident. and other than justin almost losing a leg, and having to put up new walls in half the kitchen, i think it went well.

we even plumbed in a utility sink and set up the ping pong table to hold things. it feels like we are camping. kinda.
anyways, here's the pics...

BEFORE:

packing up the kitchen...

nasty old sink, that is what it looks like scrubbed!

nasty old floor. worse color ever. it is hard to tell here, but there definitely was a tint of pink in it.

dented  dishwasher, it actually made the dishes dirtier.

counter tops and back splash. this tile is everywhere in my house. it must have been on special. who does white tile, with white grout?? obviously a man who never plans on cleaning it!

the yellow beast. i seriously will miss this thing. it had a great oven too! i can't wait to show you our new one, we tried to keep it the same style.

the original cabinets. i can't say here what they smelled like, but if you've been over, i've probably told you.

PHASE ONE: DEMO

tearing out the walls (unplanned)
