Pictures!

As promised, here are some renovation pics! We are loving going to the house on a daily basis to see the changes of the day, and then driving back home to our clean apartment to sleep! Sheesh, it's such a mess over there, but we wouldn't change a thing we're doing. We are SO happy we decided to remodel the kitchen (before we move in!) We did have our first little mix up yesterday, as the kitchen bar should be more of an island than a bar and the texture is a "troll" rather than a "monterrey" as we had requested. No fretting, Caleb got it all fixed this morning and we are rollin'! Here is just a glimpse (I think we have over 200 pics) of what this renovation has looked like thus far:

BEFORE:
A typical "galley" kitchen with an enclosed wet bar to the right.

This is the pic with all of the previous owners' stuff in it:

And the empty kitchen, looking from the laundry room area, through the kitchen, into the wet bar (that small doorway on the left at the end of the kitchen)

DEMOLITION AND SHEETROCKING: (yay! an open kitchen!)

Wet bar area:

Kitchen area, looking into laundry room (door opening at end)

Wetbar moved out, built back up, and sheetrocked:

CABINETS!
In boxes that filled our dining room...

To Julie's handy installation (haha, that drill was definitely just sitting there perfect to pick up for this pic)

Wet bar: it's functional!!!!!!

Kitchen cabinets! How pretty!

Up Next: Appliances! They delivered them yesterday and are filling our garage up :). Then the granite, tile, lights, and painting :). I think we're about 10 days out to having it complete!

My Dad and Jolie also came up this past weekend and helped us get our yard spruced up for spring! I hate to admit it, but I actually really enjoyed it! Caleb also is determined he will grow tomatoes and jalepenos after planting them, so we'll see. Man, we really are becoming "old" homewoners :). Here are a few after pics:

Hope you enjoyed my picture post :). Will attempt to add again BEFORE everything is completed, but we'll see!
