Parts of the living room and the dining nook were cleared out and the trim was removed in preparation for a temporary wall that will protect the rest of the house from the demolition. We brought in a card table in place of the dining table; we're hoping part of the dining nook will still be accessible!
Today, Steve Stoelk (our contractor), Mom and I headed to IKEA to finalize the design of the kitchen in the addition. IKEA is having a sale, and we wanted to see if their price was competitive with one of Steve's regular cabinet guys.
I had already designed the kitchen online; it was so much fun to look at the products and tweak the design. The price is so much better than anywhere else that we were able to include a cooktop and a COOL sink faucet and several closet built ins and still come in UNDER the kitchen cabinet budget. I think it even impressed Steve! It made up for the stupid kitchen design program we had to work with and the busy atmosphere at IKEA.
