Stage two of the kitchen facelift began yesterday.
Since the new stove is finally here and waiting to be delivered, the cabinet where it will live had to be removed. So Ryan the Contractor is back!
The hard part was seeing the yellow subway tile go.
It will be replaced with white subway tile. Believe me, if I could have, I would have saved it and bought more to fill this wall, but the company went out of business and there is no more of it anywhere.
I'm saving this cabinet for a future project, yet to be determined!
Here is what it looks like now. The floor will be patched today.
The wall will be tiled to the floor and the range will fill this entire alcove.
The double ovens that no longer work, also came out. A cabinet maker will fill this space with shelves and double doors. Hopefully, it will look like it was always there.
I'm so excited to get the stove and see this project through.
It began in October with the countertops. Stage three will be painting the cabinets.
I'm already thinking outside the box about a color instead of painting them white.
We'll see....

I always loved your kitchen Delores and I can't wait for the reveal!!
Oh, oh and double oh! Can't wait to see it. I am betting its my "dream" stove. :) By the way, I just adore the fictures above the island. Is that two separate fixtures or a single one with two globes? Can't wait to see the finished product.
I'm so glad to be able to observe your process. I've been contemplating the exact same changes. Thanks for the peak. Cherry Kay

Delores, were mine subway tiles, I'd send them to you.. but alas, they are not. Hey, it would have sped up our intended remodel! I cannot wait to see your new kitchen complete. What a dream you creating and thanks for sharing it with us! xo marlis
Delores,
I can hardly wait to see the stove. Your contractor is very efficient and seems to keep things fairly tidy while working, lucky you.
Happy Friday,
Karen
Very exciting, Delores. I cannot wait to see what you decide about the cabinet color. I am in the second stage of my kitchen reno right now too. Today, the perimeter counters are being templated. Very exciting indeed.

This is so exciting, isn't it? I especially love the demolition stage because it's so ripe with opportunity! I will live vicariously through you- it will be another couple of years before I can do my kitchen over.
Enjoy the process!
Going to be gorgeous! Can't wait to see the finished design.
Even in this state, it looks beautiful! Cannot wait to see the finished room! So exciting....
I too am waiting to see the final result - I know it'll be marvelous. LOVED the pics of the happy newlyweds taking off for paradise--ah yes to be young, in love & unencumbered!
