Let’s just do this as a photo essay, shall we?

This is what we started with

Rip it out!

Really former owner of my house? Were you on crack?

A little rotting drain pipe anyone?

At least someone liked the old cabinets

Still going

Gee, I wonder when we can turn the water back on?

What? I'm on a break

OMG! Countertops!

Supervisor Stella

Gonna be a sink in here soon!

Oh, and there it is.

Unfortunately, the water was shut off for awhile. Miles of dirty dishes!

Miles

A tap!

With running water

Man, that was a lot of work.
It’s all in and we love it. Of course everything took 4 times longer than it should have because we had to keep fixing previous reno nightmares of the form owners. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to run 2 or three loads of dishes and laundry. I’m so happy to have the water back on!

Oooooooo…I like that sink! And the countertops look marvelous with stainless steel. I know it’s been a buttload of work but your kitchen is really going to be awesome when it’s done!

Looks fabu! I need a new sink too but I don’t want to take out all my vintage counter tiles to do it. (The lip of the sink is embedded underneath.) So I live with my ratty rusty sink because we can’t figure out what else to do. Bleh.

Sigh. Such a gorgeous kitchen. And I am happy to see a wine glass in the forefront of that mile of dirty dishes
