Making Progress!

Thanks for all your sweet comments for me. I am starting to feel like a new person and man is it nice! I can't believe I pretty much missed an entire month of everything and I'm glad to see the light at the end of this sickness!

Our reno is fully underway and I thought I'd give an update. My Dad was a lifesaver and came down last Monday and stayed with us until Thursday, helping me during the day and Joel at night. Thanks so much Papa, I can't tell you how much we appreciate it and loved having you here!!

We ordered our cabinets from a place called The RTA cabinet store (ready to assemble). It was completely online and a big risk. The fact that we could get solid wood, painted cabinets for thousands less than anywhere else we priced, made it worth the risk to us. I can't say enough good things about this company thusfar. They worked with us for weeks with a layout that fit best for our kitchen, drawings, etc. We had a few things come in dinged up and they've got replacement pieces on the way with no hassle to us. I'm really glad we went with these and this company!

They arrived on Monday. We went with a Pearl White Shaker cabinet. There were 18 boxes and that night Dad and Joel got to work assembling the cabinets. They got almost all of them assembled and finished up Tuesday night. Of course they had help :-)

They also ripped our upper cabinets out on Tuesday.

Wednesday started the installation and I LOVE IT!

They got all but two of the upper cabinets in and I can't wait to get hardware and start filling up all the shelves!! We've still got a long way to go but I'm really excited about the start (and the new can lights!!)
