Kitchen Redo: Days 1 and 2

If you were hoping to see pictures of jewelry today, I'm sorry to disappoint you.  I am 95% finished with the piece I started on Sunday, but I haven't gone back to it yet because I'm too busy watching my kitchen renovation unfold.  I figured this was a good place to chronicle the redo.

Day 1 accomplishments:  Old cabinets removed, old flooring removed, old (linoleum?) backsplash removed, soffit removed, recessed lighting installed, and new subfloor installed.

This is the lovely linoleum that was under our hardwood floors

This was taken right after the soffit was removed.  There was so much dust/insulation in the air, that the autofocus wouldn't work on my camera, but I had to share this scary picture anyway.

Insulation cleaned-up.  New subfloor installed.

New recessed lighting



Day 2 Accomplishments:  Ceiling patched, All cabinets installed

 The lazy susan and pantry go in

More wall cabinets

Island added

End of Day 2

This may be obvious to most people, but man, kitchen renovations are messy!  I obviously realized that I would not have a functioning kitchen for a week or so.  But I guess I didn't really think everything through.  If I had, I would have realized that I would be without a kitchen, dining room (you saw pictures in this post), living room,


and deck (yes, that's my dishwasher on the right hand side).
It is really interesting trying to keep a toddler out of all the action!
