Demolition Begins

We knew before we moved to Miami that we would be remodeling the kitchen.  It's just way too small.  We thought we were going to be able to do it as soon as we moved because our house in Pa. was to sell at the end of June. But things happened and the buyers back out.  I was disappointed for many reasons, but decided our new house would be fine not decorated and without a new kitchen for awhile.  Well, tomorrow our house in Pa will be sold and so last weekend we went to IKEA and ordered new cabinets and a counter top (so thankful for an amazing sale IKEA was having!!!)
Last night Mark began the demolition of the kitchen.  Our new cabinets should be here next Friday!  The next couple weeks will be chaotic with our kitchen torn apart, but oh the memories we will make.

Before. Excuse the mess! My sweet hubby says it will make the after pictures even more amazing! LOL

 

Yep, that's all the counter top I have.  And when you're making a crock pot meal (like I was) the counter top is well.... gone!

 

Gabe was a big help with the shop vac!=)

   

Mark took the door off to our storage room (hence all the boxes you see). He will dry wall that to form our "U" shaped kitchen.  He removed the cabinets that were above the refrigerator.  He moved the refrigerator and our pantry so we can still eat in our house!=)

   

I'm so thankful for a handy husband who enjoys doing this kind of thing.  I cannot even tell you how excited I am to be starting on the kitchen!!!!!=)
