Getting Closer to the Kitchen Renovation

If we are friends on Facebook, you might have noticed the tactic I'm using to try to get HGTV to renovate our kitchen. So far, they haven't written on my wall, so I'm not sure Genevieve Gorder has gotten my message! Alas. So we forge ahead with the "traditional" path, and this weekend, we began meeting with contractors to see what the damage will be -- both to the unit and our bank account. The last time I posted photos of the kitchen-proper without our doodles all over them, it was still almost entirely filled with still-packed boxes of stuff. So here are a few "cleaner" shots of what we're dealing with:

(dining area and kitchen wall)

(same wall, other side)

(who wants some vintage appliances?)

(doors into kitchen... these remind me of my parents' old kitchen, which had swinging saloon doors when we moved in!)

Hopefully by next weekend we'll have a progress report with news on when the changes get underway! Stay tuned...
