Painting the kitchen cabinets has been put on hold until all the dust settles. We finally got a contractor to open up the wall between the living room and the soon to be dining room.
Do you remember what it looked like?
With the wall opened there is now enough room for our dining table that has been in storage for over two years.
It’s amazing how much brighter both rooms are with the opening enlarged. We have new wood floors being installed next week in the living and dining room.
Dad and Steve pulled up the carpet, padding and nail strips and then scraped off the glue. This is turning out to be a bigger project than we originally thought.
The furniture has to be moved out of these two rooms for the installers. There is not a single room in our house that is not full of stacked décor and furniture. I think this is worse than when we moved into the house seven months ago!
After all this work I promised Steve we would wait a few weeks before starting on the kitchen remodel.
I’ll be back to show pictures once the floor is finished and the house is back in order.
Just a reminder… The very first Share Your Style link party starts tomorrow (Wednesday) evening at
7:00PM. You’ll be able to share your link here, or at any of the co-host blogs, and it will show up on all EIGHT blogs.
Hope to see you at the party.
Hugs,
Sherry

Oh wow, this is going to look so nice. I can't wait to see how it all comes together.
I'm excited for the new party! I feel your pain, we are having hardwood floors torn up and replaced on Thurs. and even though they were going to do all of them we are limiting it to the kitchen and morning room. I could not figure out where the heck we would put everything to do it all! We would have had to apck like we did to move in here. Excited to see all you are doing!!!
wow Sherry, this is going to be fabulous!!!
Ugh. Scope creep…..when a project gets bigger and bigger. Seems to happen every time.
I know that it is such a stressful situation whenever renovation is involved; however, just by the snipits here I can see that it is going to be amazing!
What a difference! Can't wait to see the finished product!!
Ack, don't projects almost always turn out to be bigger than we thought? That's my experience, anyway! But won't it be FABULOUS when it's finished!
you poor thing! but how exciting!
I know it will be worth it when it's all Done
Also it will be so nice, can't wait to see it all finished
Sherry the new opening looks FABULOUS!! Can't wait to see the new hardwood floors…they're going to look beautiful!
OMG you are on a roll…I don't know how you get it all done!! That is one huge project, but will be so worth it!!

Oh Sherry it may be a pain in the neck right now to have all of your stuff stacked up everywhere, but I can tell from these pics that it is going to be a fabulous renovation! Hang in there.

Excited to see it when it's all finished! Love the archway.
Wow! What amazing changes you have going on in your home, Sherry! Can't wait to see the end result. We thought it would be a good idea to get new carpet before company came last Thanksgiving…big mistake! Like you said, it was like moving all over again.
