Progress and a Project

The kitchen looks so sad right now, but we're getting closer! The cupboards leave mid-week next week to get painted and glazed. The new pieces (pantry, bar and cubby) are here and look beautiful! The final counter top measurement will be taken Monday and then the granite guy will get all of that going. We are in the mud/tape/texture process right now in the dining room. The plan is to get the walls painted and wood floor in before the cupboards come back, and then hopefully everything else will fall into place!
*I took off all of the cupboard doors, drawer faces, hinges and the backsplash today. (Don't look too close at our cluttered cupboards! We had to shove everything together because one of the cupboards had to be taken down already.)

AVAS DIORAMA PROJECT
Here is Ava's Shoe Box that we made together. She chose the book "Little House in the Big Woods" to do her project on. We had fun with the hot glue gun and random kitchen ingredients! (Oatmeal, coffee, etc...)

Looks like you aren't going to be home to much next week! Good luck with everything.
Ava's projects are always so cute and crafty.

Woo-hoo! I loved seeing the inside pictures... It beats squinting my eyes to try to see through the windows from the outside! :-) Looks GREAT and sounds like there is going to be tons of progress in the next few weeks too. Looking forward to your next update!

Great work Ashley! Things are really moving along. I love seeing all of your kitchen reno pics. And, Ava's project was so cool... I give it an A+!
