The time of reconning has finally arrived.It’s demo day!!!
Which means it’s time to say goodbye to the kitchen I’ve known and lovedish for 6 years…
and say hello to the start of something shiny and new that I hope will end up like the love child…
of this….
and this…
and this…
and this…
and this…
With a little bit of this thrown in for good measure…
Can I hear a hallelujah???
I’m praising all the deities I can possibly think of because yes, the final leap has officially begun…
and so begins crazy time!!!
And PS, after a marathon packing and cleaning fest, I already feel like I’ll have to invest in the kind of glassware this dude has…
No matter…it will all most certainly be worth it - I know my kitchen is absolutely going to be a dream come true…
And in the meantime, my family and I plan on enjoying life in our newly modified living room kitchen…
Even my sweet pooch Lola has seen her kitchen of sorts displaced…
The happy offshoot of moving stuff is sometimes you end up liking it better in it’s new place…the happy pile of stuff on the hallway console/desk is going to be a keeper I think.
So there you have it…we’re at t-minus one hour until peeps arrive to yank it all out and carry it away.
In the meantime, I have one hour to get myself dressed, make all the beds, and get three kids dressed/fed/to school…more crazy pants time…
and Old Chum )
Stay tuned- I’ll be posting live action shots of the the tear down as they happen:)

Hallelujah for you- so exciting! I love all the gorgeous inspiration…you are on your way to one magnificent kitchen, can feel it in my bones. Good luck in the process, one door closes another very exciting one is opening!! Can’t wait!

Posted at 06:46h, 27 JuneOh I can’t wait to see how your new kitchen would look like…
But with all those lovely inspirations, I’m pretty sure you’ll have a gorgeous one.
That wine glass sure reminded me of the one used by Courteney Cox in Cougar Town.

Posted at 10:04h, 27 JuneWhat an exciting day! While your current kitchen is lovely, your new kitchen is going to be fan-freakin-tastic, and more in keeping with the rest of the decor in your home. Can’t wait!

Posted at 10:17h, 27 Junewhatever you do keep a bottle of alchohol and a sedative near-by at all times….seriously if I do nothing else for you as a friend at least I can tell you that drugs and alcohol are a must during renovations. Especially kitchens. Can’t wait to see it all!!!
Erica
Posted at 11:20h, 27 JuneLoved this update… hilarious. But on a serious note, can you get them to hurry up and finish?? These updates are killing me with anticipation, waiting for the final product!
ps- I always have told clients that kitchen renos can yeild profound consequences. For instance I became a vegetarian after a major kitchen reno (long story) but I also had a client that ditched vegetarianism during a major overhaul.
Hope it’s smooth sailing for you and your lovely family. xo

Posted at 12:40h, 27 JuneYou’re too funny. This is one time where it’s okay for things to get worse before they get better, and the better will be insanely beautiful I’m sure. Looking forward to your ‘action’ shots.

Posted at 07:04h, 28 JuneI love these last two posts! What a wonderful way to think of demo (a celebration). It is that, but I am always holding my breath that I am doing the right thing (when it’s my house!) But the celebration idea is devine. Can’t wait to see your results! M.
