This is what our kitchen looked like before we demolished it.

We got cabinets installed this week and so happy with how much more open it looks already. We also had the doorway from the hallway to the kitchen widened.

Here is the inside of the kitchen before and after. They tore down the wall to the left of the sink and there are no more cabinets overhead.

Our sink, stovetop, and dishwasher have also arrived this week. Can’t wait for it all to be done…for so many reasons.  Living the camping hotel life is rough with two kids.

We are into Week 3 of the kitchen remodel and we’re seeing changes everyday. By the first week, we had all the cabinets and appliances removed, the random wall blocking the entrance to the kitchen counter was also removed. By the second week, the contractors started rewiring electrical and rerouting pipes.

In the meantime, Jes installed a sink out in the patio, which has made washing dishes a lot easier than doing it all in the downstairs bathroom sink.

New canister lights were installed, the counter height was lowered, and the wall was opened up (on the right).

This week, we will have the floors completed along with installation of the new cabinets.

We are finally starting the kitchen remodel. It’s been about 6 months since we moved in and we were still using the original cabinets and some really old appliances. It was time to get this project going.

Over the weekend (while Brother and family were in town), we had to clear out the kitchen and dining room.  We moved all the toys and KK’s desk upstairs and set-up a temporary dining/meal prep/pantry area. This will be where all the action will take place and it’ll be like living in a hotel for the next 5-6 weeks.

On the morning of 10/9, I took a photo of the original kitchen before the crew arrived to tear everything out. Goodbye old kitchen!
