Pantry Problems and tons of updated pictures(RENOVATION Remodel part number – who knows?)

September 1, 2010 Lana

  Yesterday, my hubs got home and just had to finish cutting the wood that had been delivered that afternoon, to fit in our pantry.IMG_4500So, he cut.  And cut.   And cut some more.IMG_4502
Finally around 10:00 or so – all the wood was cut for some awesome custom pantry shelves.  He just had to glue and nail them together (a quiet job.)
Then after we heehawed and managed to remove the door frame to insert the rather obnoxious shelving into a cramped pantry closet – it looked awesome.  Only one more unit to go….
11:00 p.m. – hubs walks into living room.  Sad face.  He whispers…”I cut the shelves wrong…they need to be re-cut.”  Notice the time. 
Last shelf.  Only 6 boards.  Complication – our neighbors are asleep.  They wouldn’t be – if we turned on the LOUD saw.
So, we didn’t cut.  (sniff sniff)
Next Day –
He cuts all the wood in the evening after a down pour of rain.  The new shelves won’t fit in the doorway of the pantry.  We have to remove the island.  Yes, the island.  It has granite on the top.  Not cool.  My finger gets pinched in moving it.  Not cool, again.
We get the new shelves in the closet but still won’t fit.  He has to take the shelves we put in yesterday and remove them.  I lay on the couch with a tremendous headache and listen the the pounding.  If it wasn’t so real – I’d be laughing.  Did I mention – we have company coming? 
It will work out.  Always does. 
I might need more tylenol.  Or something stronger – like chocolate milk.   I love chocolate milk.  It soothes me.  I admit – I’m a kid at heart.
In other news….
(no I’m not expecting – my friends are constantly thinking that is the only news that I could have!  Maybe because of all the times I’ve said – Guess what???)
Not sure how long it has been since I’ve updated you on our kitchen remodel so here are some recent pictures.
IMG_4475 My beautiful sink…which I LOVE!!!!IMG_4476 My cook-top – we haven’t became friends yet.IMG_4477 This is going to look so different – can’t wait to start on the backsplash!IMG_4478 My island…I LOVES!!!!IMG_4479 LOVESSSSSSS……IMG_4480 What do you think I should put in it?  Suggestions….????IMG_4481 Do you see the area above the ovens?  I’m contemplating what to put in there…do you have more suggestions – I’ll be glad to hear or see them!!!! IMG_4483  Don’t you love this?  (Never mind the mess…it is all going in the pantry when the pantry has shelves!!!)IMG_4485 Our other table will go by the far wall…can’t wait!IMG_4486 And cabinets…Oh, can you just imagine!IMG_4487 Tools are going to be restricted from of my kitchen after this is over!  Tools – OUTSIDE!!!!   No exceptions unless you have written approval from the HEAD CHEF – who is me!  IMG_4489 This already looks different!   I guess I haven’t taken the updated updated pictures. IMG_4491 This is the table where we do our school!  How I miss doing school!IMG_4492 I’m putting our bar stools together – hopefully tomorrow. IMG_4494 IMG_4495 I love my eldest!  He is a clown! IMG_4498 The living room without furniture.IMG_4499
  Okay, so that is our renovation…still in progress. 
To see the beginning – go here!  
The before!
It is a long ride….
Blessings to you!  You are loved!!!

    I am SOOOOO jealous. I have a pantry that needs more shelves too. I have no room for an island. Counter tops that were partly tiled and need to be re-done/finished.

    I did get a new floor though!

    GOOD LUCK!!!

    Wowsa! You have gotten so much done. That pantry will be finished before you know it. Just think how much you’ll appreciate every shelf.

    If it were my island I’d put a cabinet on one side with a drawer about it. Then on the other side I’d put shelves and put baskets on the shelves. You could use the baskets for fruit, rags, spatulas…very versatile. Or the basket drawers like I have are great! http://thepenningtonpoint.com/2010/04/my-kitchen/ Lisa~

    It’s looking good. I’d put things you don’t use very often on those high shelves. Like maybe a waffle iron or special occasion serving trays. For the island, you could store things like rags, paper towels, paper plates, etc.

    Congratulations! The renovations look amazing. When we were there in April you were making plans to tear out walls. I couldn’t “see” what you guys were describing.
    It looks wonderful. You are both creative and your marriage is really strong to survive it all 🙂
    We will have to make another trip when all is completed and you’ve rested but this time I’m bringing the family.
    Much love!

    This is looking soooooooo good.

    Really fab. I will rejoice with you when it’s done. I’ve been there, so I know what it’s like.

    Looking forward to part….part…you know – the next part!
    Love, Anne x
