OUR MARRIAGE IS STILL INTACT!!! :-) Keith and I have never taken on this kind of project. Don't get me wrong. . . we have changed a lot and I mean A LOT of things in our home since moving here 19 years ago, but never have we been without our kitchen. I mean our kitchen is the FOCUS of our family. We love food, but we do everything here. Homework, hanging out, playing games, eating, chilling - you name it we do it here! So dismantling our kitchen could be quite the game changer for us!
For those of you who know us, our family is split. Some of us are SK Roughrider fans, some of us are not. Ok. Keith and Peyton are, and Taylor & I are not. We are split on the Blues. Taylor for Winnipeg, and of course me for Toronto. However, 3 years ago, I decided to surprise my hubby and painted our kitchen Roughrider green. I had intended for it to last ONE year, but 3 years later, and a new Ikea in Winnipeg, I am finally getting my new kitchen. YA HOO!!!
So yesterday we started our demolition. The upper cabinets are gone, and that is where it will stay for the next few days. Living without the upper cabinets will not be too bad since we will still have access to our counters, stove and sink/water. That is HUGE. We are hoping to get the ceiling/walls prepped in the next few days so that I can start painting but unfortunately, I may be sanding all the walls first. It looks like a latex paint has been painted over top of oil, so will have to find out what to do about that. One person told me I have to sand off all the old latex first, and if that is true, that will be a bear of a job! Guess I will find out today.
So here are a few pics of the before and day 1 renos!
ENJOY and we will carry on here!
