Demo! Not so fun when there are no sledgehammers. |

I'm a lucky lady. Check out those jorts. |

Ruh Roh. Let's just say we had a little mishap with the plumbing. Specifically, the hot water. Good thing we have a sense of humor... and Matt knows where the water shut off valve is for the house. It was pretty hilarious. |

Hardwoods went in (now we can do whatever we want on this wall... built-ins, furniture, whatevs. Got plans for new built-ins though... ones that fit a modern day TV). |

This is a little "drop zone" area - there will be two shelves above this, but I need to find different corbels. The ones I ordered were way too big. |

Not completely finished, but recessed lights! |
These pictures are a MUCH better representation of the color of everything. Hardware is mostly up now (need some longer screws for a few cabinets), and it looks great. We just did very simple Metrik pulls from Ikea. The cabinets are a grayish green color, but they really change depending on the light. I had cabinet buyer's remorse (this is typical for me... buyer's remorse, that is) after purchasing, wondering if the color is really what I wanted, but I
love them! Even with a lot of finishing left to do, the kitchen feels SO different... so much warmer and cozier. I can't wait to get it done (for more reasons than one... have I mentioned that living in a construction zone kind of sucks?)!

Of COURSE your Gator husband has to wear jorts while doing manly-labor. ;-)
