Bitchin' about my kitchen

Hello All-

I know I have been promising to get a  give-away under-way, but I am slightly over-whelmed.  I mentioned in previous posts that we are having our kitchen redone.  This is WEEK 4 with no kitchen (nor bathroom on the main floor as we are having it redone too).  I cook a lot and I guess I did not realize just how much time I spend in the kitchen.  Not having a kitchen is really messing with my mind and making me feel displaced in my own home.   Also, having workmen in the house all day every day WAY awkward and strange too. 

Here is a little update on the mess so far:

This is what the kitchen looked like before-empty.  I had already taken down all my decor when this photo was taken.  

This is what it looked like about 48 hours later.  EVERYTHING gone...including the wall!  We seriously considered just putting in a glass wall for about 10 minutes.  The view was beautiful! New wall,  new window, subflooring......
New tile.  Progress.  I finally feel like we are on the home stretch. 
Partial cabinet installation.  

Another photo of the cabinets with the floor and the paint.  The island is to be delivered today.  It is going to be antiqued black.   I cannot wait for all this to be  done so I can cook a big pot of chile...on a real stove.    I am not sure I will be in any hurry for any new home renovations any time soon, but you know, I would sure like some new tile in my bathroom.  I think this home renovation stuff could be addictive. 

I promise to post the give away before the end of this week.  Stay tuned.
