I’ve put off writing this for a while, but finally, here’s some side-by-sides of the multiple months of work in our kitchen.

A New Year’s Update
After being out of the country for a couple of weeks, we were anxious to get back and see what progress had been made at the house. I’m happy to say a lot was done at the house and we are so, so close to wrapping up the full project… but not quite there yet.
Walking in the front door brought a huge surprise, of new paint, new floors and all of the dust and clutter gone. Oh and look at that kitchen!

We have Kitchen Cabinets
Ok, it took a few more days than I had hoped, but yesterday all of our cabinets got installed. We don’t have to look at all of the boxes thrown about the house either. Well, not the cabinet boxes at least.
CABINETS ARE COMING!
With all of the stressful little decisions that have to constantly be made, I’ve found myself losing sight of an end.

Kitchen Demolition: The Quarantine Begins
I knew it was going to be terrifying, but *inhale* we are now kitchenless. 
Finishing up the Second Floor
The first part of the project has just about wrapped up, and moving into the kitchen part of the renovation is getting nearer.
Earlier this week, the contractors sealed up the windows, finished the drywall work and got paint up on the walls.
Day 2: Gutting the Basement
As the basement demolition continues, we’re still making great progress.. The bathroom is now gone and lots little features have been taken care of. With every wall that comes down, the space seems bigger and bigger.
Welcome to the Library. (Ikea-hacked built-in bookshelves!)
After months of slowly progressing, we have a library that’s basically finished!
