Today Alex and Pa the Great spent just over 5 hours installing our new kitchen cabinets.
I am IN LOVE!
I don’t really have much to say but I do have pictures to share!

Can you see why I am in love?
We will be installing the counter top today (Sunday) along with the sink and getting all of the appliances back in place.
I am hoping to paint this coming week as long as time and the finances allow and we are planning on doing the floor over the next weekend.
Once all that is done we will work on hardware, backsplash, decor and then we are going to splurge on a new refrigerator!
I will be sure to post new pics tomorrow night after the counter top and everything else is in place.
In my family, it is not odd to spend a holiday weekend redecorating the house, rearranging furniture, or doing some huge project.
Since this week was Thanksgiving, we figured it was the appropriate time to demo our kitchen!
On Wednesday afternoon, my dad came over and gutted our kitchen in less than 2 hours!
For those that are new, this is what the kitchen looked like when the last owners lived here.
A few weeks ago we ripped out that ugly flooring as the first step in the kitchen remodel process.
Here is our progress from demo on Wednesday.
On Thanksgiving Day, we spent the evening putting the new sub floor down and Black Friday was spent marking the studs, leveling things out, prepping for cabinet install and painting.
Thankfully all that needed to be painted this far is the areas that will be showing and hard to reach once the new cabinets are in.
We will be spending today, (Saturday) installing the new cabinets. Sunday will be countertop and sink installation and getting the appliances back in place.
Next weekend we are hoping to be able to install the new floor (which we still need to make a final decision on), painting the rest of the kitchen the final color, and making decisions on backsplash, trim, and cabinet hardware. We did find a design for the hardware that we like and I managed to find it online for half the price so now we just need to decide if it is the one we want for sure.
I will be sure to update before the weekend is over with new pictures of the progress!
Please just keep your fingers crossed that everything goes off without a hitch and we have a fully functional kitchen again by Sunday night!
