Kitchen remodel - Part 2

I'm not really sure if this is really part 2 of the kitchen remodel .. it's more like year three of the house upgrade. We've lived here 22 years. We built the house back in the 80's .. even though my husband designed the house, it was built with builder grade stuff so after about 20 years everything started needing to be upgraded or replaced. So three years ago we painted the outside and redid most of the front yard. Last year we replaced the roof, replaced all the carpets, put in some hardwood in the entry way and replaced all the flooring in the kitchen and bathrooms. We've also been replacing appliances when we can. So far the frig and oven/microwave are new. Thursday they come in to take out the countertops and the island countertop. They will be replaced with granite (got a good deal at Home Depot) but not for two weeks. They take the countertops off to make templates to cut the granite. Tomorrow my dad is helping DH remove the sink and the stovetop .. soooo for 2 weeks we'll be eating off paper plates or doing the dishes in the bathtub .. I'm voting for paper! lol I wish I'd taken more before pictures ... I'll have to go through some older, non-digital pictures to see if I can put together a before look .. but here's what it looks like right now ... the refacing of the cabinets will take place after the new countertops are in place ... I'm really getting excited to see the finished look :)






DH took this picture of the laziest cat in the world ... or at least the laziest in our house ... Beau guarding the tv remote! lol

Thanks for all your concerns. I'm feeling much better this week, finally! I'm taking some extra iron and had my pelvic ultrasound this afternoon. I should have the results back in a couple of days.

I did stitch a bit this weekend, but seemed to do more frogging than stitching ... owell .. I should have pictures to post towards the end of the week. I did find this awesome blog of freebies that I wanted to share with you .. I love these birds for each season .. too darn cute!

I'm grateful for feeling better ...
