We got the call this week that our new cabinet facing is ready to be installed! I am so excited! I cannot wait to see the final product. However, I will say it does feel like I am moving again. We have been boxing up all our pots and pans, plates and glasses as well as other odds and ends in our cabinets and drawers. The good news is that I am truly making myself throw things away and put odds and ends into a donation box.
Good Mews, a no-kill feline shelter that I volunteer with, is having its annual flea market in April so the timing couldn't be better.
So the box doesn't have a lot in it...yet. But this is the year of purging! We will get this house put together. Starting with the kitchen is a good place as we spend so much time in this room. I emptied out the spice cabinet first and got rid of tons of stuff that was old and expired. I have a new list of spices that need to be replaced. I also purged the pantry last weekend and did the same thanks to an invasion of weevils (or the like) in an old flour container that I thought was air tight. So now all we have is fresh food and I won't be buying anything new until we get through some of the cans and boxes we have currently. The refacing project will do more than make our kitchen pretty. It will force us to get rid of somethings that we don't really need or ever use.
While I have been working on the kitchen, my husband has been working on another project - the guest bathroom that is downstairs. It is complete with a shower that is not enclosed along with sheetrock that needs to be patched. Did I mention it is a neon green color? It needs a lot of TLC. We've decided on a blue from the Benjamin Moore historic color collection and that we will put high wainscoting along the walls. He tackled the ceiling as well by giving it a new coat of cover paint. Both the kitchen and the guest bathroom are well on their way to getting a facelift with our personal touches on it!
