Pandora's Box

You never know what you're going to find when the walls come down. Our demo did not reveal anything too trecherous. Lucky for us, the walls that needed to be removed were not load bearing, so they came down easily. There was a rouge heating vent in one of the walls, which will need to be moved. When the yellow linoleum came off the walls, it revealed a very '50's but kinda pretty red wall paper. I guess the kitchen had been updated in the distant past, contrary to my previous belief!


Never knew this was behind the linoleum the whole time!


Dark, scary cabinets take their final bow

We put our old cabinets up on Craigslist for the grand price of "free to a good home." Chip had literally sixty responses within an hour! We gave them away that night to a young man with a large facial tattoo. A family member of his had recently bought a house and when she went to move in, she found that some kids had trashed her kitchen beyond repair. He took the cabinets to help her restore her kitchen on the cheap. We felt good that the cabinets were going to help someone and even better that they would not be taking up space in the dumpster.


One man's trash is another man's treasure
