Houston, we have granite.

And it's pretty.

Feeling incredibly fortunate...for my handy (and nothing-if-not budget-conscious) husband who did so much of this work with his own hands, for having the means to make our vision into our reality, and for our resilient children who have taken this enormous upheaval of our routine in stride.

Kitchen Renovation (for people who don't use FB) (lookin' at you, Dad)

First demolition: Gutting the pantry (2/23)

Cabinet delivery on Hollie's birthday!

Removed that top half of the pantry to look at the electrical.,,and the real work begins! (3/7)

Can't lie...we had a little fun...

Even found this little guy...

Calling it quits on 3/7...

This is how it looked for a while, while Daniel worked a lot of overtime...

My temporary kitchen...

Our "eat-in" playroom!

Hollie's paper says "shark"

Back to work... 

3/22

Spectators!

Tore out the pantry/linen closet and built a new wall...

Putting together the first cabinet!

3/25

Two more done!

Island and all lower cabinets done!

It was a team effort.

As of today...

More upper cabinets done, and one light moved and another added.

New counters go in TOMORROW!!!
