LET THE FUN BEGIN...

I love the new way to load my pictures but I have no idea how to do the writing under each of the pictures. Most of my posts look like one big mess! We have all of the back-splash tile in and grouted except the butler's pantry. We decided to add more pyramid buttons so we are waiting for them to come in. I know it is too soon to be decorating but I just couldn't wait any longer! We had rented a storage unit when we started our remodel. Unfortunately we do not have a basement. We went and got some of the boxes out today. It's been fun seeing what is inside. Some of this I already had but a lot of it is stuff I have bought while waiting for the remodel to be done. My FAVORITE is my canister set. I got them at HomeGoods. My chocolate bunny looks so real I could take a bite! Could you just imagine the calories! Here is a look at a few of the pieces I have put out. I don't like a lot of "stuff" out at one time so I will have to store some of my pretties and rotate them from time to time. Have a great weekend.

Upper Cabinets Are In :o)

Hubby put in the upper cabinets! Looks great. Getting closer to being done! I want to DECORATE!!

I just love the range hood. Very big and makes a statement. Will be trimming it out with some rope detail and will be adding some tile if I can find what I want.

Just about all the cabinets have pull outs. We also got the drawers that open ALL the way and shut themselves. I love that they shut themselves so no slamming but I have to get some handles and knobs soon. They have like a suction on them so they take a little muscle to open.

These are spice racks. When the kitchen is done I will show you all of the cabinets. Hubs said it is on to the electrical next.

OH HAPPY DAY!!

We cooked in our kitchen tonight! Goodbye hotplate! My son helped. To tell you the truth I almost started crying I was SO HAPPY! I don't know how they did it years ago. I must say I am spoiled and I missed my sink, dishwasher, stove and oven. It has been a loooong time. Hubby started putting up the upper cabinets and they should all be in this weekend. We have upper and lower cabinet lighting that still has to be finished and I need to pick out my tile. We have a TON of woodworking too. We are going to finish the wood floors soon and hubby said I could move in and he would work around me. You have to remember not only have I been without a kitchen but also a dining room and living room. I do have to say my living conditions were not that bad. Hubby set me up in the garage. We have a 2 car garage and hubby built a wall to divide it in half. I went away for a long weekend and when I came back he had the fridge, couch, tv and dining table out there. He even put pictures on the wall! Still doing the dishes in the bathtub is back breaking!

Here is my son busy at work making cookies. He had told me when we started this project he wanted to learn how to cook. UMMM we'll see how long this lasts! He didn't think the cookie dough would ever end.

I decided to make (not sure of the name) that chicken dish with Ritz crackers. YUMMY!

I got some new pots and pans. They are from QVC. Cook Essentials. Love them.

Dinner was yummy!

I wore one of my new aprons.

OH HAPPY DAY!!
