Major demolition happened last night, we ripped out EVERYTHING.
All the old crappy cupboards are gone, as is the disgusting "dishwasher" that we've never used and the aweful stove. It was a pretty nasty process though as we unhooked the water supply from the sink and dishwasher, "old" water running out and the smell of the sewer coming up through the drain-pipe. I am also HORRIFIED to share that there was lots of grime and dead bug carcasses under the cupboards. Needless to say, its all now gone, and we have a clean fresh-slate.
After we got done with demolition and cleaning, it was time for me to paint. Ceiling got a fresh lick of paint, white with a creamy yellow undertone, to cover up the accumulated grime. I'd just like to point out now that popcorn ceilings are AWFUL. The walls are now green. The wet paint looks very "minty" in colour but it dries darker, so unfortunately it looks a little sickly at the moment because there are not other colours in the room to balance it. Once the brown-tones of the cupboards and floor are in then it'll look a lot better, then even better once the cream coloured counter-top's and copper back-splash get added.
I finished up about 11pm covered in paint. Tonight, cabinets get delivered after yesterdays debacle and the floor gets installed.
PS: I have been taking progress photo's which I hope to start posting tonight, just need to upload them.
