By popular request, here’s an update on the kitchen renovation!

April.

May.

June!!!

It’s so beautiful, I’m totally in love.

We’ve hired a little bit of help and had some awesome friends pitch in but mostly Tate has been busting ass.

I haven’t been super useful but I did a lot of the painting, cabinet ordering, and executive decision making.

We should be moving appliances over from the old kitchen within a week or two and then it’s on. 🙂

The process hasn’t been as irritating or stressful as I’d feared.  Yes, the house is kind of a disaster and several layers of dust have settled on every surface but I don’t really care like I thought I would.  Maybe I’m just distracted by the garden and summertime fun but I think I’ve just chilled out over the last several years.

Don’t get me wrong, I will be thrilled to have the kitchen finished.  I’ve never had a nice kitchen as an adult, I’ve always compromised for location or cheap rent or just out of straight up desperation.

Once we move into the new space the work won’t be done, there’s still the old kitchen to renovate! I’m looking forward to this though, it’s fun to see spaces transform and open up.  We might just get carried away and keep knocking down walls. 🙂
