We’re approaching the final stretch of Kitchen Reno Week, folks! Don’t forget to check out installments 1, 2, 3, and 4 to see how far we’ve come! When I left you yesterday, the kitchen looked like this:
And now it looks like this!
Okay you got me, it looks exactly the same. That’s because the work today was all about sanding and smoothing the mud on the sheetrock, and that’s a lot of detail work that is super noticeable up close but not so noticeable from afar. Of course I totally failed to snap photos of them working because I was on phone calls all day, but I think you get the picture. They’ll wrap this up with a bit more work tomorrow, and then the rest will be in our hands! That means I’m officially declaring this the end of a very successful Kitchen Reno Week on Plaster & Disaster — thanks for following along, and I hope you enjoyed this format! Next week we’ll be back to our regular post schedule, including a post next Friday to update you on what we plan to do in the kitchen this weekend (work on the pantry with my dad).
In the meantime, I think it’s time to mop.
Our guys did a great job keeping the house cleaned up and free of debris, but it’s still such messy work. Fortunately we’re replacing the counters and floors, so I’m not too worried about getting it pristine.
We sure came a long way in a week! Many thanks to our amazing contractors, who did such a phenomenal job and worked so incredibly hard!
And to our cats, who clearly suffered terribly.
Looks good so far . Can’t wait to see the finished project .
Hahaha, me too. Don’t hold your breath, we have months to go now that the pros are done and it’s our turn 🙂
I am about to do my counters, cabinets and backsplash.. I hope mine goes as fast as yours.. Your doing great.
Exciting! I have all those steps ahead of me too, my hope is to be done by the end of the summer — not so fast, but we only had contractors help us with the wall so the rest is up to us on the weekends. I hope your work goes smoothly, let me know if you learn anything important in the process that I should keep in mind! 🙂
Great progress! It’s been fun following along all week!
Thanks Anni, glad you enjoyed the posts! Now we’ll be back to regular old slow progress 🙂
