currently, the dining room table is in the corner of the living room.

| toaster and smoothie maker too! |
the pantry stuff has taken up residence under the tv (and every day sean closes the cabinets, afraid simbacat is going to eat our uncooked pasta or something. and every day i lay down on the couch and realize the damn cabinet door is closed and the remote isn't going to work.).

| why so much pam spray? |
our silverware is in the entryway dresser. and the balsamic vinegar is on the mantle?
i hope to post a weekly update of the kitchen progress- we've been told 3-5 weeks but i find that a little optimistic. hopefully i'll be proven wrong!
Go, kitchen, go!
ReplyDeleteUgh, 3-5 weeks?! I clearly watch too much HGTV because I want a 2-day makeover!!! Can't wait to see peeks.
ReplyDeleteGood luck! Our renovations took 5 weeks (we were estimated at about 6.5) and we basically had the whole thing taken down to the studs, so it can be done! It was mostly about when the appliances, cabinets, countertops, etc. could be delivered. I'm excited to see how yours turns out!
ReplyDeletei can't wait to see photos of your space! and yeah, if our schedule gets thrown off i'm sure it'll be because we're waiting on delivery. it's hard to coordinate!
DeleteI have very fond memories of living through a kitchen reno with my mom. We made cereal for breakfast and kept coolers full of refrigerated items in our dining room. You're going to have a blast organizing the new space with all your treasures around the house!
ReplyDeleteour fridge *should* stay plugged in so that will be a huge help! we've got the toaster, crockpot and grill but i'm guessing it'll be more like chinese, the diner and thai food haha.
DeleteWe were gutted down to studs and it took about 4 weeks. During that time, we also didn't have a bathroom. So I washed dishes in a bucket in the driveway, took showers on the screened/covered back porch, our fridge & kitchen essentials were in the living room. It can be done! Good luck though, it's not easy to live through, but it's totally worth it.
ReplyDeleteI like the balsamic vinegar on the mantle. I think it really completes the look. ha ha.
but where did you go to the bathroom? maybe don't answer that.
DeleteMy husband and I lived through a remodel with only one bedroom and one bathroom at a time (we had to switch midway through). We ate a LOT of Taco Bell and Wheat Thins. The good news is that now we laugh about it, so you will get past it.
ReplyDelete(Also, where did you get that dog bed with the robots?!? I love it and I think our dog, Frankie, needs one desperately.)
the dog bed's from here: http://www.mollymutt.com/shop/dog-duvets/mr-roboto
Deletedon't order "huge"! unless frankie is a great dane.
i ate A LOT of taco bell in high school. (i still kind of like the nachos) (and the cinnamon twists)
Shows how little I know about home reno... when I read "3-5 weeks," I thought that sounded like a long-ass time for 1 kitchen!
ReplyDeleteDidja finish the quilt yet? Because uh, we were promised pictures. ;)
the quilt is not finished. maybe this weekend? i'll post when i do finish!
Deleteokay, i give up. was the clock a different color before?
ReplyDeleteit looks like the colors are distorted, the mantle isn't yellow is it? Or maybe they've changed things since I was there.
Deleteit's just a crappy quality photo. white balance is off.
DeleteI can't wait to see pictures of the progress.
