Slowly But Surely

Well as many of you know we have been working on our kitchen for probably 3 years now. I think the picture below may be an indicator as to why it has taken so long. You never can tell what kind of help you're going to get. "Tykes in Toolbelts" are definitely a cute duo but probably not the most efficient. Once they get started the really get a lot done. Here is our kitchen during demolition. Who would think these tiny tikes could do so much damage?


Here are a few more of the kitchen when it was pretty much gutted.


The little girl liked to sit down on the job a lot. She also had this thing for ballet. It was hard to keep her motivated on the kitchen. Usually a few cookies and milk were enough to lure her back to the job. However, I found her so cute that it was hard to get too mad at her.

But as you can see Tykes 'n Toolbelts did a pretty fabulous job. We still have few cabinets to add as well as some crown molding and base boards but I think you can get an idea of how it's going to look. I am so very excited to have the kitchen pretty much back to normal. And more importantly look at the floor. No more glue crusted cement to walk on anymore. It is great. I have to say the floor is probably my favorite right now because it is the most recent improvement AND we did it all by ourselves. That makes it that much more sweet.

I LOVE IT!! It is fabulous! The wood floors turned out beautiful. I really like them...they look different that any woodfloors I've seen. Maybe because mine were installed in 1923. HMMMM!

So glad you finally got me some pictures. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. More please!

Wow! That looks like a lot of hard work, I see why you had been eyeing the table we got...your bar stools would match it so perfect. It looks very good though...Jordan and I could never do all that, we couldn't even redo a table!
