We finally did it....we finally GUTTED the kitchen. We have been planning for this kitchen demo FO-EVAAAA!! We finally decided what color cabinets to go with. Where to buy the cabinets. What flooring we want and the big one....where the pantry should go. So here it is. The kitchen Before:
Folks it ain't pretty! And it wasn't that functional either!
This is the view to the eat in breakfast "Nook".
Good BYE....way to much red dinning room!
Good BYE.....nasty tile counter tops.........
Good BYE....awful shade of yellow walls and brown trim paint......
The wood floors are outahere! You may ask yourself why are they getting rid of the wood flooring. Well they are water damaged....and with 2 kiddos wood floors are NOT what we need in the kitchen.
Doesn't this light look like it was stolen straight out of Applebees??? HAHA!
We started the demo off with a little celebration. Confetti Poppers!!
The kiddlings {mostly big sister} started the demo weeks ago.....thankfully that wall is not staying!
We started by taking the top cabinets out first. I will be saving the for a future project. :o)
And guess what we found???? Wallpaper. Oh my...... ;-(
And it's gone...there is no going back now. This pic was taking awhile ago. See the wall with the small door? That wall is now gone. Tile....gone. Drywall....gone. The sink is still there. Not removing it till the very last minute. THANKFULLY!!! It has been a life saver. You may be asking yourself....what are they doing for a kitchen? Well...the small stuff is in the guest bathroom.
And our fridge and table, large toaster oven and microwave are in the front room {library}. I am so thankful for this space. It helps out alot to make things somewhat easier.
Please don't look to hard. This pic was took right after we moved it in there and after dinner. So i'm pretty sure there is food particles everywhere. :-0 !!
The rethinking what i can make for dinner is driving me nuts....i miss my stove very much!
Anybody have any great toaster oven meals they would like to share???

Not a toaster oven recipe but it's good... in microwave - cook boneless, skinless chicken breast and pineapples(juice and fruit) together (cover dish with plastic wrap to hold in moisture while cooking. then cook some white rice. mix chic, pineapple and rice together - yummo!
