So the house right now is really cluttered, more then the normal clutter. Because for the past two weeks we have had all the cabnets for our new kitchen sitting in the diningroom. On Wednesday they are finally going to be moved, okay they might not be moved till Friday, but on Wednesday the contractor is finally coming to install them. It is going to be so nice. We are basically doubling the amount of counter space and storage space we have. At the moment we have one countertop we can really prepare things on. We are adding an entire wall of cabnets with the remodel which will be so nice. We have also bought all new appliances, except for the fridge.

When we first moved in 3 years ago the back burner of the stove didn’t work. Since the kitchen was from the 70s when the house was built we figured we would just wait till we redid the kitchen. However, it has been a pain for the past three years cooking without that burner, because it was the second big burner. We are finally getting a new stove with the remodel though, and it is a really nice one. It is one of the flat surface tops that they now make, and it also has two ovens, a small one perfect sized for bread or desert or baked veggie dishes and a full sized oven which is good for everything else. This will make life a lot easier when we need to cook two things at the same time at different temperatures.

The house is going to feel even more crowded this week though since the new appliances arrive on Tuesday. However, by Friday everything but the laminate countertop will be installed. Then we just have to have the countertop measured and they will make it and install it, so within a month we should have a brand new kitchen.

It is going to be such a nice change, we are going from an ugly dark 1970s wood color to a light honey maple color. It should help lighten up the room a ton. Of course we still have a bit more stuff to do before the contractor arrives, light take off the ugly dark colored wall paper border that was in the kitchen and finish packing away the rest of the dishes. We are on our way to a new kitchen though and I am so ready for it.
