Kitchen Cabinets!

The official move in date has been set and I’m having anxiety attacks on the hour! So much to do but yet I’m just so dang excited. We have put a lot of sweat, tears, and some blood into this project 🙂 We have officially sold our house and papers are signed. Bless my brother-in-law’s heart (The official new owner of our “old” house!) for letting us rent it for a few weeks.
This week the hubby has been hard at work settings the cabinets and counter tops. We got the cabinets on Saturday afternoon and he was on a mission and stayed up to the wee hours of the morning setting them. He told me I shouldn’t ever complain about not having enough counter space or cabinets again. I politely rolled my eyes and replied, “A woman never has enough counter or cabinets dear!”
I’m just chomping at the bit to clean those babies out and start filling them up. Trust me. They’ll all be full. I hoard kitchen stuff, like you didn’t guess this already!
While he was busy working on the kitchen I was filling nail holes and cleaning, which means wiping down all the trim. Man, that’s work. I sweating like a beast!
Carpet for the bedrooms comes on Friday. We are picking up appliances on Saturday and then just the finishing touches. *HAPPY DANCE*

Thanks Julie for nice share about your kitchen cabinet. I am looking for the ideas of wood kitchen cabinet; and then I found you sharing. This really gave me good view to stay away from Most Common Kitchen Layout Mistakes. Hope to see more value posts on your blog.

Julie, you are doing so much work! It will totally worth it in the end, but you will be exhausted until then! I love the cabinet and floor color and I am crazy about that tall cabinet-think of all the baking ingredients you could fit in there!

Thanks Tanya! I’ve already been dreaming off all the stuff I can now finally fit in those cabinets and not have to run to the downstairs storage closet every time I need something!

I can’t believe how fast it is coming together!! Well . . . I’m sure it isn’t fast to you 🙂

Looking back it seems pretty fast but in the midst of it then it seemed like FOREVER!
