Renovation Domination

By on April 19, 2012 in Uncategorized

AND THE ADVENTURES CONTINUE.

I know I promised some awesome home improvement videos and all. And believe me,  I was totally excited about them. But every time I remembered to start shooting the video, I realized I hadn’t showered since before Easter and that my little Iphone camera makes me look worse than a mound of hammered earwax in the gutter of hell.

So, let’s look at more pictures!

Today made my heart flutter. Our new countertops arrived! AND OKAY. While I’m on it, I don’t understand why I get a little squiggly line below the word countertops. IT’S NOT COUNTER TOP. It even said COUNTERTOPS ON the COUNTERTOP TRUCK. I’m about to give spell check a knuckle sandwich.

Okay so Look!

I almost want to lick it.

See those 3 holes? I know you know what they are for, but I’m going to tell you anyway because the excitement IS JUST TOO MUCH. The one on the left is for our faucet, then the next one is for the soap dispenser (ah knowwww) and then the last one is the one for that sweet mutha garbage disposal button. Remember, the one that sounds like the fairy? Whispering? I can’t wait to dispose something!

Okay and real quick, just so you know – we are getting RID of that hideous orange. Seriously, all of those awful reflections make me want to gag a bucket.

Hey, Laura, that’s your man’s booty. Sorry to the rest of you for that sentence.

Oh, and that’s more counterTop in the corner raht thar.

These guys can’t wait to get drilled for hardware, painted and installed! They told me.

Purty haynges.

Home improvement makes you say weird things.

Oh! I almost forgot. So, Eric just built me this piiiiiiimp storage area over our fridge where I can store baking sheets, cutting boards (which he thinks I have WAY too many of, whatever) and other large kitcheny things like my Le Creuset. Eeeee!

Okay that orange makes me want to stab my eyes out.

I love it!

Of course we’ll paint it, STOP RUSHING US.

And here’s where my large floating shelves will go. See those wires sticking out? I dare you to touch them.

And here’s where my little shadow boxes will go. Don’t worry. No scary figurines allowed.

Hmmmmm, what stain to piiiiick, what stain to piiiiiiiick.

Oh yeah, Charlie says hi.

(and GET ME OUT OF HERE.)

    I'm so jealous of the storage area above the fridge! As foodies, we ALWAYS need more storage space. Btw, Charlie is just darling.

    I know those countertops are going to be amazing light bounces. It all comes back to how something will help/hurt food photography, right? :)

    Hang in there! Speaking of shadow boxes....we were house hunting online and looking at the photos for a house we liked. The photos had DOLLS EVERYWHERE. Along the top of the kitchen cabinets: DOLLS. All along the banister by the stairs: DOLLS. Dining room china hutch?: DOLLS. Let's not even talk about the bedrooms! I wish I could remember the house and link to it because it seriously creeped me out. So yeah, no creepy figurines ;)
