The Chaos

A friend asked for pictures of our chaos. I'm glad, because it motivated me to take shots of our current living conditions, which is a big part of the remodeling process.

All of the cabinets should be placed and hung by end of day Tuesday. But until then. . .

We have a ranch home. This shot of the family room
was taken from the hallway that leads to the bedrooms.
Our foyer leads straight into the family room. We'll
be replacing this old tile with what's now in the new kitchen
hopefully in November.
This shot of our dining room was taken from the foyer.
More cabinets are being stored in that room in addition
to everything that was in our old kitchen cabinets.
Here's another shot of our family room. The glass doors
lead to our three-season room where there are more
cabinets in boxes.
This shot of the family room was taken from the kitchen.
Now you can see the hall that leads to the bedrooms
as well as the back of our refrigerator that's been
in the family room for four weeks.
Here's what happened last week, a lot of mudding after holes
were patched with drywall. You can also see some of the can
lights that were added to the ceiling when the electrician
was here while we were on vacation.
 Our laundry room is off the kitchen. I've been doing a couple
loads of wash everyday since it was put back together
last Tuesday. I love having a first-floor laundry room!
I thought I'd include pictures of our current living space.
Over the weekend, we put lawn chairs in the basement
exercise room. That way we were comfy watching movies
with the Roku that's attached to the television in that room.
I bought these chairs at Target, at the end of the season,
probably 10+ years ago for something ridiculous like
$8 each. We had only used them a half dozen times before
Saturday, but now I'm glad we held onto them.
And here's a shot of our entertainment center over
the weekend. On the right you can see some of my cooking
tools, because. . .
. . .the exercise room is also our temporary kitchen.
I've been preparing meals with just a hotplate and crock pot.

OMG! I loved seeing these!! I know you are sick to death of it all, but these will be so cool to look at a year from now. You are going to have so much light in the kitchen now--whoohoo! And the laundry room right there. Can hardly wait to see the cabinets when they are installed. How exciting!! :) :)
