We made the decision to do a remodel back when Hurricane Sandy hit New Jersey but the work had to be delayed due to the fact our contractor had to help the families that needed their houses worked on more than we needed our cabinets changed.
Since about Thanksgiving we've been plotting cabinet colors, flooring, new sink etc.....and then last week all the planning became a reality. We're excited to have it finally underway but aye yi yi.......the mess is crazy!
We previously had oak laminate floors that went with our oak cabinets that was laid over our blue vinyl that was laid back in 1991 or 1992 when the house was built.
Once the cabinets and old appliances were taken out and carted away they started with the new lighting...........
Updates to follow as things progress.........
OH, and did I forget to mention that while the contractor is here we've decided that we want a door from the living room into a 9 x 11 room I used as my sewing room back in the day closed off and the wall in the laundry room opened to make it all 1 big room? Oh yeah! Am I crazy? Yeah, I guess so....
The mess is in the kitchen, living room, laundry room, small side room and it's spreading into hubby's office and dining room. OH yeah, I forgot, we're having new lighting, flooring and paint in the dining room too. I think "crazy" is saying it lightly. I'm certifiable!!! This process is supposed to be done by May 15th-20th so say some prayers for me that I can keep it together that long. It's not easy washing dishes in a bathroom sink!!! LOL
Plumbing work on the washer/dryer/sink is in the works as I write this post so I will have more pictures of that project later this week.....

I once had to do the dishes in the bathtub for months. Good times.
It will be beautiful when done!
Oh my goodness! That is one torn up kitchen! Hopefully it will warm up for you to use the grill, too.
Keep thinking of when it is all back together and no more washing dishes in bathroom sink....can't wait to see the progress.
