I can not wait to see the "after" on this project.  Joanna is redesigning her kitchen and she has such a wonderful eye.  I've seen the pieces and I know it's going to look awesome.  I can't wait...although I'm sure she can't wait even more!

Well, we are all packed up and the movers have dismantled the baby grand and put it into storage.   My kitchen demolition starts on Monday, August 27 and if this isn't an instance of "construction creep" I don't know what is.  

We moved in 5 years ago and did all but the kitchen and the floors.  I just didn't have a vision.  But, after 5 years in a house, it came to me and now I know.  So, the dated white tile is being replaced with new wood floors and the existing wood floors are being sanded and refinished to blend (a la The Flooring Girl), and the kitchen is being completely demolished.  While we are not expanding, we are definitely modifying the footprint.  I am particularly excited by my new quartz countertops and my new backsplash to be!  And of course, there will be painting.  By the way, my love seats are being re-upholstered.  And, and, and...

So, here it is, BEFORE the hammers start swinging.  Thank Goodness for Dumpsters!  I will keep you updated as La Cucina de Chez Cohlan gets a radical facelift!
