Operation "New Kitchen": Weekend Blast

It's been a whirlwind weekend but we finally have our house back, well mostly anyway since we don't have countertops or appliances yet.

We had intended to go to Vinland Raids (Cape Cod) this weekend but by the end of Friday night we were exhausted and so decided to make the decision and bail. We would have liked to go but the thought of a 10 hour round trip was a little more than we could bear after this past week.

Friday night we finished installing the cabinets, ripping out and painting the pantry, installing the all important electrical boxes and lighting, and setting up a temporary sink. The best part though was being able to get some of our crap back into its new home(s). We seem to have a ton more cupboard space now which is brilliant.

Saturday we slept later than intended, but ended up at Lowes to buy various little bits we needed. The two big jobs for Saturday were the installation of the real copper backsplash and the rebuilding of the pantry, including roll-out shelves. The backsplash looks phenominal against the dark cabinets and we haven't even taken the protective plastic coating off it yet, that'll happen after the counteryops go in.
