That's right, Cohen and Callie actually gave an outsider some editorial access to their blog, although I suspect their was an alterior motive. Earlier today, I was telling Cohen that since we've taken on so many home improvement projects lately that I should probably start a blog or something and hope it gets picked up for a tv show on HGTV or DIY or something. Well, he mumbled something about "taking one for the team" and told me that I could just use their blog to share some updates. Nice kid.
Today, Erin and I started a project that has been in the making since the day we moved in. We put a lot of things before it for many different reasons, but couldn't delay any longer. Hence, the kitchen makeover.
Day 1 (although it's ending 2 hours into Day 2) consisted of lots of cleaning, sanding, and priming as you can see in the "after" picture up above. It also consisted of routing out the cabinet panels and prepping for new ones that Erin likes better.
If anyone is wondering why this work is just finishing up after 2 am, then clearly you either don't have small children, or once did and completely forgot what it was like. Sleepy time makes for good worky time. Also, it makes for good sleepy time. Dang.
Silly blog update? Maybe, but we're having fun, and even after just 1 day it feels a lot different. Still to come: Cabinet Door resurfacing, painting, new flooring, and a lack of sleep.
