The State Of The Kitchen Address

You guys, I would love to come on here & chat about something happy with you guys & tell you that we have made a ton of progress in the kitchen the past two weeks. Well, I can’t say that because well, we haven’t. We ran into our fist issues in our farmhouse since we first moved in last June, which in my book isn’t too bad considering the house was originally built in the 1840’s. BUT there will be some major construction going on in the kitchen now that was un-planned, so everything is currently on hold….

I primed the cabinets & the ceiling since we last visited the kitchen here on the blog so there is that piece of good news & we will hopefully have those counters & bulk head out this week as well which is also progress. So, before we ripped the floor up we noticed some standing water in the sunroom on the carpet. We were thinking that maybe it was a fluke thing & that it was just a minor thing we could easily fix. Well, when we ripped the floor up & noticed that it was from the windows in the sunroom & that most likely this had happened before & we were just never told about it. That means major construction and demo is about to happen. We haven’t figured out the extent of the damage, but we’ve heard from some experts that say it’s going to need a complete overhaul in order to be in great condition again.

So, the state of our kitchen is not very good at the moment, & all of this has really slowed us down, but all of the damage is only on one side of the room [the right side in the photo above in the sunroom area] so we are hopefully going to be able to start working on the other side of the room very soon & there are going to be big things happening on that side of the room as well. & call me optimistic, but I’m not upset about the damage because this is another reason for us to make this space completely our own. I mean, don’t get me wrong I’m upset that it’s taking us longer & costing us more money, but I know in the long run it will be great. Thanks for cheering us on & for stopping by the blog today to see what is going on in our kitchen & sunroom. Be sure to follow me on Facebook, Instagram, & Pinterest for more behind the scenes. xx
