Aaah, the dawning of another day, the sun peeking through the snow clouds and sparkling down into my pristinely clean domicile, whilst the little play with the dogs... okay, someone's living in a dreamland - the sun was striving to peek through my dusty windows, as i put my work shoes on for another day of renos. It's kinda funny how you start one project - a kitchen renovation (which, by the way for all of those of you who would say "i told you so" to living in dust and chaos is expected and understood!) and you think you are simply putting up new cabinetry. And then well, you need to think about wiring and lighting and where switches go and how do you want your floor tiles fitted and would you like a new fridge and which one is the best and where should the vacuum hole go for central vac, if you even want central vac - which one is good? Aaah, the dazzling array of questions... pick one and answer it for me and i'll love you forever. Seriously, i am enjoying seeing changes coming, anticipating the new kitchen and how much more practical (hopefully) it will be and how much more "me" it will be, which i'm finding out things about myself along the way as well - interesting process - you demolish your house and somehow you start poking around in "unfinished" or "cluttered" rooms in your own mind and soul - trying to do some demolitiont here too and clean things up. Enough philosophizing - here's the pics...
There is now a hole into my stairwell (i've never really sat and pondered my stairwell - but it's probably the largest unobstructed space in the house - kinda unusable and barren and really, really tall! I'm not looking forward to painting it at all - i'm kinda scared actually!) and it is the new home for my pantry - isn't that gonna be nice and handy? I can't wait!
The hole in the wall as seen from the steps - i think it's so nice and light in there - totally changes the look of both the hall and the kitchen - maybe i'll leave it like this - kinda like a balcony for Juliet - just need to find that Romeo yet!
My new best friend - the shop vac... he's such a nice sucker! and such a hard worker - my puns are failing me at present, Carina, so you'll have to fill this in at some point - i feel kinda let down by my powers of creativity! That sucks!
Anyone wanna choose a sink for me?????? I'm a little at a loss as to what to choose! So many choices, i'm kinda bowled over and feeling a little drained (ooh, it's starting to sink in)
Perhaps i'm creative with words, maybe i get it from my mother, who even on the way to church manages to be creative with the snowscraping - keep up the good work, Mom!

Wow, I've been gone from home for a bit and now there's a whole bunch of updates to read :) Yay! Your kitchen is looking great! If you're doing central vac, which it sounds like you are, have you thought about having a connection put in at the bottom of one of your cupboards - so that you can sweep your kitchen floor and suck up the dust without a dustpan/getting out your big vacuum hose? Very handy!
I look forward to seeing it and helping you out... one of these days...
Love you!!
