Kitchen Renovations Begin . . .

 

Once last baking session in the old kitchen!  And the packing begins . . . 

Demo day was 11/2 and Preston was thrilled to take a hammer to a cabinet!

My entire kitchen is in the driveway . . and garage and dining room and anywhere else we threw crap at the last second!

All demoed and ready for cabinets

And so the creative cooking begins.  We've used the instant pot to brown meat in the laundry room, the skillet to make pancakes, the toaster oven for pizzas in the garage, the microwave for LOTS of stuff in the garage, and plan to learn to boil water on the grill this week.  Fun times!  Said no one!

I'll be honest, it's been a bloody nightmare for the past 11 days.  We picked out some amazing handmade tile out of California only to learn the estimated delivery time was after Christmas; which would leave us with no power in the kitchen for all of the holidays. So we scrapped that tile and went to plan B.  I'd forgotten how awfully messy renovations are and there are still SOOOO many details that need to fall into place, and fast, so we can enjoy Christmas at home.  Praying for this all to work out and hoping for a miracle!  In the meantime I'll be cooking in my garage and laundry room LOL
