Project Update

Been a little lax in my blogging world, but with a newly minted two year old, a 37 week pregnant baby belly, a fully blown kitchen/living room renovation on the go, all of my wonderful gardens, plus two of my favourite house guests visiting, it's a little busy (to say the least).

More on each of these topics... but first, a state of the union before we started our newest (and largest project) since the basement renovation.

D finished tiling the upstairs bathroom, much to this pregnant lady's delight - as now the bathtub was back in order, and the slate is looking amazing.

The living room has been our "go-to" room for any room that needed to move into another room for quite sometime. With the addition of insulation, it has been the same for a while, and we slowly chipped away progress on it.

Starting to drywall (May 2013)

Here is a couple of reincarnations of our living room thus far:

Living Room (2010):

Bedroom (2011):

Disaster/Deconstruction (2012):

Kitchen (2013):

As much as the living room has changed, the kitchen has pretty much stayed the same except for small organizational changes in the drawers and cupboards.

Before we started (2013):

The new kitchen design capitalizes on the L shape of our kitchen, and I am excited for the many pantries as well as the increased functionality of the work triangle and more counter space.

We are on a short project deadline with expecting baby #2 on July 4. Some families wouldn't embark on such a large project with that deadline looming itself,  but all of the pieces we needed to get this piece of the project moving quickly fell into place perfectly, so we couldn't resist trying to make it happen.

The cabinetry we ordered is suppose to be delivered on the week of June 24, so fingers crossed it's on time or early as we're not sure what will make it first to Edmonton - baby or cabinets.
