Remodeling The Kitchen

This project has been in the making for a long time. We would stick our toes in the 'kitchen redo water' and find it too daunting, but even the worst task must be tackled if it has to be done. And BOY, does it need to be done. I'm really so embarrassed to even post the pictures of the nastiness that has been our kitchen for years, but here we go...

Desk area

Pantry

The first of several pics of our beat up cabinets...

...

...

...

... rags wedged between the cabinet and the dishwasher...

... eww..

... the floor all dinged up...

... a piece broken off near the utility room...

... scuffed wood and scratched misaligned molding...

...

... one of our oven burners...

... and then one day recently I came home to this!

All the cabinets and flooring ripped out...

...

...

I keep blocking the holes they make in the walls because I have a fear (a valid fear if the stories are true) of one of the kitties getting stuck/falling between the walls.

Chappu and Tippy are very nosy girls.


The piano room houses all our boxes of kitchen utensils, as well as the new dishwasher and the new oven.

The dining room houses all the new cabinetry and flooring...

...

... with a path to get through it.

Our refrigerator is now in the living room along with...

... our kitchen table.

Our current set up for eating is in Saeed's old office. We're calling it the campsite.

The coffee pot and area to wash dishes is in the bath room along with...

... the recycling.

We've had a lot of fun in this old kitchen and there's always the sentimental part of me that feels a pang of sadness. Yet new memories will be made in the new kitchen, 
In sha'Allah.
