Naomi the big winner!!

The kitchen destruction has begun!

I had fun tearing out flooring! The island will be twice its current size and getting new flooring!

Just have to document all my handy work pulling off trim and cutting out more flooring!:)

Kitchen beforehand! A 20 year old kitchen with formica counters that had to be taped in areas, cabinets I painted a few years back that are chipping horrible, and drawers that have broken. So excited to have newer and bigger and not broken!!

Demo has begun!

And they demolished the kitchen in less than 2 hours!

The new cabinets are in the house!

Documenting many pictures of the transformation!

Quartz counters are on!

Added a whole pantry/cupboard section to the right of the fridge that we didn't have before! Island is twice the size. So excited to have more space for things! We actually have some drawers and cabinets with nothing in them!!

Handles are on and potential backsplash tile!

One of my favorite things about the new kitchen is just the organization!!:)

Spice risors in the drawers! Its the little things seriously!

Flooring that will be going in soon!

The tile has begun!

Will post the before and after pictures when it's all done in next month's blog!

Art time! Mia printed a picture off the computer, traced it on the canvas, and then painted it! Such a cool idea! She hasn't finished it yet or I would have posted a pic!
