Kitchen Remodel Week 2 July 28-August 3

Most of the week was texture and painting. This may not be the final paint color. It is Yosemite Sand, the color we used in the rest of the house. We haven't really come to a decision about what we will do for a backsplash, but they wanted the paint on before they start with the cabinets and they needed a color immediately. It is not atomic tangerine, but it will do until we get the counters in and make a decision about the backsplash. The wood floor is installed, but will need to be sanded, stained and sealed at a later point.




We opted for a wooden floor vent. Be warned that it is not as sturdy as a metal vent and it could break. We got this warning repeatedly from the installers, but it is still their preferred vent.



This is a view of the dining room wall of the kitchen. The tongue of wood is where the refrigerator will go. Double ovens will go to the left of the refrigerator. Cabinets and a microwave shelf will be on the right.



The refrigerator is conveniently located in the dining room along with ALL of our dining furniture. There isn't really room to eat in there, so we eat at the picnic table in the back yard. Very civilized.




The pantry kitchen is small but efficient. We are fully equipped to make cookie dough. Apparently there is no real need to cook it.














Our temporary "kitchen" sink. We wash in the bucket, rinse in the sink, and dry on the rack. It motivates us to minimize the number of dishes used. Who needs a dishwasher?
