Ripple Effects of Gutting Your Kitchen

By now you're probably as sick of looking at pictures of my gutted kitchen as I am. So today I have a special treat for you! I'm going to show you the current state of the rest of our house.  Warning: it ain't pretty.

Let's start with the entryway. When you come in the front door, besides an inch of dust, you'll find our...washing machine!

Behind the washing machine you can see into the living room. Here's a closer look:

We have way too much furniture for our reduced-sized living room so some of it will have to go. This is also where we keep the sheet rock, naturally.

If you went straight through the entryway again you'd be in the dining room. This has become our make-shift kitchen. We have our fridge, stove (not plugged in), and microwave in here.

And this is what our beautiful dining room table looks like these days.

Next up is the family room. These days we're keeping the kitchen table and dryer in here.

We're keeping the toaster over, spices, Summer's food, etc. in the built-in bookcases.



And in the back corner of this room we're storing all of the food from the old pantry in a giant Tupperware bin. Oh, and we've thrown a few kitchen chairs in the corner for good measure.

Now let's head upstairs. We have beach towels, pillows, bleach, roasting pans, dinnerware, and salad bowls in the linen closet.



And, last but not least, is the empty bedroom which has become a catch all.

Lovely, no? And, let's not forget the current state of the basement. And now for the fun part: I actually work from home 3 days week which means...I'm here 5 days a week! Jealous?
