And the Kitchen Reno begins!

Saturday, July 28th, 2007

We bought our new kitchen at Ikea last night!  Here it is flat packed in our livingroom, where it will stay until we get back from our holiday’s in a week lol  It’s the white Stat kitchen.

We ended up ordering a new countertop at Rona on Wed night, it’s Labrador Granite laminate, in a matte finish.  It should be ready in a  couple weeks, so things are moving along…. now we have to think about flooring colour and plan our demo!  I’ll be spending my 2nd week of holiday’s cleaning out the kitchen cabinets to get ready for it!  Here is the laminate colour.

It was after midnight before we got it all unpacked and the truck back to Jamie’s work.  We also picked up a sofa from the AS IS dept for $62!  We got a $200 GC for buying the kitchen so we used it on the sofa, here is Keely on it.  It’s a brown twill and very comfy.  Our old sofa was OLD and we used a slipcover on it, so we couldn’t say no to a new sofa at that price!  And I fell in love with the colour of it.  It just needs a little cleaning from being a display unit.

Well we are off tomorrow on our holiday’s!  I most likely won’t be posting any updates till after we get back, unless I get on dh’s laptop at the hotel on Thursday night.  I am very excited because Thursday I get to meet my new nephew Jacob who will be a week old then!  My step sister and her family live in Calgary so we’ll be stopping in to visit!

Everyone have a GREAT week!

PS, I just finished the next two Anita Blake books Narcissus in Chains and Incubus Dreams, both get a title  I have just started a small Nora Roberts book that was loaned to me by a friend, so I think I’ll bring it on holiday’s with me.  I think it’s called Enchanted?  Or Entranced?
