Oh YAAAAYYY! Yes, please post pictures as you go.

Yippee!

Awesome LL!

YOU'RE excited?! WE'RE excited!

bpathome said it!!!

Fantastic! So happy for you!!

Woohoo!!!

Thank you all for the very nice comments!

Bpath- LOL

Oldbat- Those bunnies are too cute! :)

Here are a few pictures of painted areas....

This is a bit messier (right as we were unloading groceries) but closer to actual shade of green.

Here's a close up of the granite. This will be what we're using on the base cabinets around the sink.

And a 'before' picture of the sink area with base cabinets. This is what we're taking out and replacing with the white base cabinets, stainless sink and granite countertops. The uppers will stay the same.

I'll try to take a few more pics after I finish clearing off the counters. We have to move all this stuff to the dining room table for a few days. So excited to rip this out, tomorrow! :)

Thanks to Amber, I have a better picture of the periwinkle cabinet. Still not exact, but much closer to the actual color...

And another 'before' photo. The uppers look better (more golden) in real life....and if I paint them, I think they'll look like cheap manufactured home cabinets with paint slapped over particle board. So, decoupage! :)

Also, the wall will be the jadeite green and new curtains. I'm thinking cafe curtains with a valance. Something vintage. Do you see the bunny? :)

How wonderful. And perfect timing, too. Since Carrie B's kitchen is almost done, I thought I was going to go into withdrawal with no remodel progress posts to look forward to. :)

bravo LL! it'll be a mess for a short time but then it'll be DONE!

Looking forward to seeing pics when I get home from work. No pressure though :)

Wonderful! We will be watching your progress as you post. Thanks.

I took some pictures, but too tired to post. The guys got the cabinets ripped out and put most of the new subfloor down. (I helped with the screws, after learning on deck!) Tomorrow morning, I have to paint behind the fridge area, so they can move it back. Try to post pics tomorrow :)

Yay!!!

Woohoo LL! Hope you slept like a log after all of that activity.

Will you have a working sink throughout?

On my local CL: feel like driving to the Great Lakes this weekend?

Wonderful news LL. I am so happy for you!

If I wasn't cruising around Italy, I would snag that baby for you!

woo hoo LL. Good luck! Post progress as you go along.

Thank you all for the encouragement!

Bpath- Great piece! Love the bunnies :)

Here are a few before and during photos. What a mess! LOL But so much fun to see the changes....hopefully new base cabinets go in today. And no more saggy floor!

Just noticed...our walls look really orange on this monitor. Not so much IRL, but the green is going to be a wonderful change!

I'm so happy for you . I know you've waited a long time for this day. :)))

Thanks, Anita!

They kicked me out for a while (too dusty) but I took a quick pic, while they were outside. Subfloor is finished and cabinets come in next...I think :)

Oh, and don't you LOVE that wallpaper hanging off the wall??? LOL That was what we had, when we first moved in. Thank goodness it was easy to cover with primer!

Woo hoo!!!

your sink run looks like mine with fridge to the right of it. my dw is to the left of sink. Then I have the corner, turn and the stove. I don't think you have a corner there tho.

It'll be awesome when it's done!

Hi, everyone! Back with a few more pictures...at the end of Day 2 :)

Dishwasher will be to the right of sink, then drawers (with pull-out cutting board) then fridge. Extra wood trim will come off (to right of drawers) and counter will fit perfectly.

Our friend/the contractor, says...you're going to have a little gap between this area and the fridge. I said....can we slide the TV trays in there. No? Then, let's put them in the larger gap on the left side. I think we're the most laid-back clients he's ever had! LOL I told him....we like an unfitted look :)

Cabinet to the left of sink (out in middle of room) has pull-out shelves under the drawer!

So excited to get the sink turned on again...hopefully by end of weekend.

Close up out kitchen window....

The deck makes me smile every time I see it - please tell your Mom we love it!

You asked - "do you see the bunny"

on Wednesday at 7:53PM

No! Show me please:) I like the new countertop very much already as well as the drawers. Thank you for the progress pictures.

OT- a2 - Oh please don't tell me you're biking around Italy - that's just not fair. (Admittedly, might be a tad far to run...but you did come visit me while you were doing the Boston Marathon, so I know anything's possible).

Bunny (and baby) on the wall, above counter :)

The base cabinets are in! The granite countertop is curing and the sink and dishwasher get hooked up on Friday. No cooking for a few days...but it gives me time to finish painting and add the floor tiles :)

I want to paint the base cabinets the same blue as my little cabinet. But for the backsplash...I do not want to use the granite 4" then paint above. Instead, I found this idea, which I really like! It looks so much better with the 1" x 4" and the beadboard is so vintage.

A few pics from tonight.....

And I love this little pull-out cutting board. I've wanted one for a long time!

Lookin' good! That beadboard with lower trim will look fantastic in your home.

You are FLYING right along! And you have a nice big space.
It's about time for you to kick into high gear!? You've been planning for-evah!

Love the drawer fronts you've chosen. Granite looks great with those lovely colors, too.

Really nice. :) I can't wait to see more pics.

Wow! I can't believe how fast it's going for you, and how wonderful it looks! Really, really good job. I love your granite, and I LOVE the view out your window. I think you've been around here planning for longer than I have, right? And you've been helping me all along.

It looks awesome, congratulations!

Showed my mom the beadboard backsplash idea....and she loves it! She also thinks we should paint the white cabinets blue. Two for two :)

It will definitely be colorful! We decided it would be fun to do something different in the kitchen, than what you usually see in the magazines. I promised her, if nothing else....it won't be what you see in most of the magazines! LOL

How did I miss your update with pics? Love it!! I can definitely see the beadboard in your space, it will be perfect! And blue will obviously go well with your style.

So you won't have water until Friday? Take out time!!

The beadboard will look so nice, and you'll continue it behind the fridge, right? That will tie in the gap and give folks more nice peeks at beadboard :) and are you taking it up alongside the window? Or are you capping it in line with the bottom of the cabinets?

Behind the fridge and inside the little open area on the left (for TV trays). I have some vintage ones that I wanted to have in the kitchen.

Probably not up the window, just even with the bottom of the cabinets. But we'll know more when we start painting. If the green looks too bright, we can add the beadboard later.
