Paint and Cabinets

Ok, so here is the Kitchen with paint and cabinets!  Basically, this is how the contractor left my kitchen!  My floors are sanded a little, and Hubby had to hook up the dryer. We also got someone to hook up the plumbing to the Dishwasher, but still couldnt use it casue there was no power for it or the disposal! 

Check back tomorrow and i will show you what the kitchen looks like NOW , plus some thrift store finds!!

Im gonna start off with showing ya'll what is going on in my kitchen! It has been a work in process since FEB..yes almost 5 LONG months! First I got the contractor from HELL, and now I am having to get someone to come in and fix/finish what he did do! Here is a little look see at the before *WARNING..The Images you are about to see are not for the faint of heart.

Yes..I had this kitchen for 2 years!!! This is really worse than what I had cause we cleaned everything out ready for demo!




Demo time








Thats a HUGE pile of Plaster and lathe





All Cleaned




This is the laundryroom area. It was gutted too and all new plumbing and wiring addedIt used to just be a little nook * not original to the house though* We had to fix some rotted flooring and tile it since there were no original hardwood like the rest of the kitchen and house.

Check back tomorrow for Insulation and Sheetrock!!!
