On Wednesday the demo started, I was so excited.
The crew took out the corner fireplace and I was amaze how much room was behind that wall. A wood burning stove will be installed next week so that is why the chimney pipe is still there.
Well today I came home and the walls and ceiling were painted in both rooms (family and dining). The laminate flooring layed and hearth for wood stove should be build on Monday. Hopefully, I can get a piece of granite just like I got in the kitchen to put on the half wall shelf (green with phone on it).
Here is a magnetic board I created out of an extra picture frame, sheet metal (flashing) and fabric. This will be the future home for hooks to hold our car keys. Will be making another for the art studio.
Well, I can't wait any longer to show off my new kitchen. The appliances are installed and the backsplash is up. All is left is the installation of the drawer and door pulls.

My Kitchen
My near future plans is to purchase a stainless steel microwave and place it on the counter near the refrigerator.
As soon as I get everything unpacked for the studio, I will be uploading pictures.
85% complete awaiting the appliance and hood. Hopefully, I will get all my supplies put away in the studio so I can share My Room.
Just trying to show the kids what life was like for me not too long ago.
Break time now back to work.
Backsplash goes up except for hood area.
Wall of storage (I love it).
Well, I must say that I'm at the 75% mark of completion. Just waiting on the stain to dry on the new door to the studio. The replacement cabinet, granite and appliance should be here next week than I will be finish this project.

Island and sink area in kitchen
Pantry Wall (missing one more unit)
Finally, I found a kitchen design that I fell in love with and my kitchenette area is being transformed into my studio. Here are a few construction pics of my room.
1st day of construction (wall to left was framed & drywalled)
2nd day tile floor laid
I know it has been a while since I post last but I've been busy, made several pony bead albums for several little girls, and constructed a Twist and Wrap Tag album (another Laura Dennison design).
Recently, I was assigned a project for an upcoming retirement party and I must say it has turned out pretty darn nice. I combined old fashion tissue flowers with nylon leaves. I had to make 30 carnations total and I hope they appreciate my hard work. Hopefully by tomorrow I'll post a pic of the photo frames I made for the center pieces (a Martha Stewart ideal).
Also, we installed my light fixture I got from Ikea. I love it because it shines over my head from the back.
