Well the kitchen renovation starts today now that the demo is completed. I am without the usual amenities of life. I wanted to post some before pictures

I have no kitchen sink, counters or cupboards. The fridge, stove, dishwasher and microwave have all been removed and are out in our garage waiting for pickup.

The first picture shows the small half wall that had to be constructed to house the microwave and fan combo that will vent out the kitchen. I was not thrilled about this element because it slightly closed off the kitchen but it was a practical change that could not be avoided. The only other option was a $6000 stove with a downdraft that would be vented through the floor to outside. It would mean ripping up my new hardwood floor....not an option. So here is stage one

oh Yeah.....we are keeping the device. I somehow hoped that maybe with my new unmount sink that I might get a new one....but NO apparently it fits perfectly into the new sink....

Wappy, it's nice to have the demo part done now though, right? We had our kitchen done last year and I was thrilled when the mess was over with the demo. To the left of the first picture, is that more of your kitchen?

I finally had gutters put on my house last week. The former homeowners, AKA, the cheap a$$ ba$tards, removed the gutters that used to be on the house rather than have them repaired. This was before I bought the house, so I knew I had to get them on, but they were down the list a bit (after new electrical service, replacement windows, doors to the back yard, a powder room upstairs and new toilet downstairs and the first of three retaining walls -- oh, and real banisters instead of PVC pipe -- but before the new furnace and insulation). But now no more giant sheets of ice on my porch steps this winter.

And I'm having great fun watching the water come gushing out the downspouts when it rains. :-)

The pics are a little dark, but the kitchen looks gorgeous! Think you do better work than my dh! LOL (he's a custom home builder)
love how you framed out your windows!!!!

one teeny tiny suggestion..change out your electrical outlets/switchplates with black ones and they will blend in with your granite better.

ROTFLMAO, you hit the one sore point Annie. I wanted black, Hugh wants white. I think we need to get everyone's opinion so I can show him what others think.

Oh I love giving my opinion. I would go with maybe a brushed pewter.

well, tell him he is wrong! LOL
you don't want your sockets to be a focal point. they should seamlessly blend in. that's why in high quality homes where the switch plates are painted or wall papered over.

Yeah, the brushed pewter wallplates would look great. I had the same problem with my dh on the wallplates throughout our house. Your new kitchen is awesome!

Wappy, I support your choice of ANYTHING but the white! Black, pewter, painted or papered!
