Living in a MESS!!

Back in March of this year I moved into my new house. I bought the house from an elderly couple who had lived here for 50 years. So you could imagine what was needed....YES, the house needed a total makeover, but in order to do what was needed, I needed to do it in phases. Phase 1 was the URGENT stuff which ended up being 80% of the total renovations. Phase 2 was the exterior which was new windows, P2000 Insulation, siding, facia & sofits....that was completed in October.
NOW....Phase 3!!! The kitchen....when I moved in I couldnt afford to re-do the kitchen. I figured with the expenses of the adoption I could try and make it work until next spring so I just re-painted the kitchen and cupboards.
Here is a picture of the kitchen as soon I took possession (dont you like the lime green paint??).

Now here is the kitchen after I painted (sorry I didnt take a good picture, but you can see part of a cupboard paitned).

Well after living in the house for nearly 8 months I decided it was TIME. The kitchen was a total EYE SORE and a usless. The layout was terrible and I had no room to do anything. Soooo.....here is the kitchen today.

And here is poor Channing's room. Thank god I had that room to use as storage. It is completly full and also I had to store stuff in my room and the living room. You sure dont know how much junk you have in your cupboards until you have to clear them out!!!

So.....this is my life this week. Stay tuned for the FINISHED project!!!
