Happy New Year’s Eve

The end of 2021 is here. I am tying this year up with gratitude that I was able to have another trip around the sun here on Mother Earth.

It’s so hard to believe that we will be coming up on the 2 year anniversary of the pandemic. Two years! But I digress…

I’m here to report on the progress of my new kitchen sans refrigerator. Womp. Womp. Here it is with countertops, and the appliances we have. No refrigerator or microwave. The refrigerator has yet to be delivered and the microwave showed up crushed.

Oh well, what is a gal supposed to do? Call the appliance store and yell at them? Ridiculous. They have nothing to do with the disaster that is America’s shipping issues. So we wait.

This past year has taught me a lot. I learned the process of a new kitchen. My oh my! I learned that no matter how many facts you have some people just won’t listen. And because of that I also learned that staying silent is sometimes better especially when you’re right. And you know you’re right because some people are just downright crazy. Most importantly, I learned more about my relationships and friendships.

Hoping for a better year in 2022 for all! Stay safe, have fun and Happy New Year!

Can’t Believe It’s October

A lot has happened in the past few weeks! We made a lot of decisions because we had to choose a countertop, tile for the floor, a sink, a faucet, and a style for the cabinets.

I cannot believe all the decisions involved! And things people who don’t do this every day would EVER think of in a million years.

Let’s take the sink for example; do you want a farmhouse sink or not, one bowl or two bowls, a top mount or undermount, a center drain or offset drain, stainless steel or a white sink, and if you choose a white sink, do you want quartz, cast iron, porcelain, etc. Wow!

That all being said, there is some fun to it but I think it would be a lot more fun if I had unlimited funds. Unfortunately, knowing this will be the only time we do this, it is a bit overwhelming.

Here is where we are in the process:

I’m thinking of doing a big reveal so I’m hesitant to share more pictures. And, it seems some of the people I’ve told I want to do a big reveal actually read this blog, but don’t ever tell me they read this blog. Besides, by this time next month we should be close to being done with the kitchen! 

This is quite the process and I have learned a ton and made a lot of notes. I am hoping to share my experience and information so others have as much as they can to be prepared for this process.

Stay tuned!

August

Well, well, here we are, the beginning of August.

A couple of weeks ago our refrigerator decided to bite the dust. I must say a bit upsetting considering we bought it only 4 years ago. It happened just as we began plans for a new kitchen and knowing we would need a whole new appliance package. We got it looked at and were told it was the thermostat, but if we unplugged it for 24 hours the motherboard would reboot and give us a couple days. Since when do refrigerators have motherboards?

So we spent the last 3 weeks unplugging it, waiting 24 hours, plugging it back in, using it for 4 days only to unplug again and start the process all over. What a drag. However, we dont have to do that anymore because now our kitchen looks like this…

Which means we actually did it! We are renovating our kitchen! And can I just say, it’s only been 2 days and it is already quite the surreal experience.

On that note, I’m so glad I have this space to keep track of what’s going on in my life!
