Our new kitchen has been sitting in the basement in pieces since November when IKEA was having a sale on kitchen cabinets. We ordered (me), received (Brad), counted (Brad) and assembled (Brad) the cabinets and have been waiting for a slightly more opportune time to demolish our kitchen. Why renovate the kitchen? This is why:
(Ewwwwwwwwwww)
So we debated on colours (finally I vetoed with the "you've liked the other colours I picked, just go with it" card) and flooring and counter top, etc and Brad decided to take the week off to get cracking on this fairly major project. Here is our (Brad's) progress so far:

Demolition begins!
Waiting for the plumber to come and fix this monstrosity of old plumbing. (fyi, we needed it plumbed in for a DISHWASHER!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!!)
On Tuesday Ben and Brad started working on the ginormous pass-through we planned for the wall between the kitchen and living room.
Pass-through complete on Wednesday!
Wall is plumbed in for all that we need, electrical work is done, and the wall has been insulated, vapour-barriered, drywalled, and mudded! Also, the carpet *cough*gross*cough*cough* has been removed and the floor is ready for a new sub-floor.

And this, is how IKEA tells us our final product will look (minus counter tops and sink, etc)! Getting excited!

AAAAAAA!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!! Thanks so much for posting progree pictures for your impatient friend. Looks amazing! Brad is doing a pro job and that pass-through is a thing of beauty. The light, the illusion of making things look bigger, and just a great effect. Can't wait to visit!
Major accolades for Brad for tackling that big project and for Brad and Ben (especially Brad) for all the hard work so far. It is looking great! It will be so much brighter and bigger when it's done. Well done with the planning Jess. I'm keen to see the paint colour too. It is all very exciting.
Looking forward to the "after" pictures! The old kitchen was something else... Btw, I think carpet in the kitchen should be illegal! Robyn
I logged on to post a picture of my floor, and ironically saw your post about renos! Your kitchen is going to look great! I'm jealous that you will have a dishwasher! Also, I think the giant holes in walls are great, infact I have one myself! Can't wait to see the final product!
PS: Apparently I like exclamation marks!
