Demo

Our day of demolition got pushed back a day here, a week there until we weren't sure if we would ever begin this insane project we decided to embark on about a year ago. Finally, the day finally came. As a reminder, this is what our kitchen and bathroom space looked like before the real demo:

And of course I had to take a minute to blow off some steam and, I mean really....How often can you take a hammer to a wall?

Sadly, we were unable to be there the day of the demo (this little thing called WORK got in the way for both of us), but when we came onto the back porch a few little treasures from within our walls were waiting for us:


These were really cool treats, but there was nothing better than the picture I was able to capture as Aubrey walked into what used to be the kitchen for the first time:

We then gave ourselves a tour of our new, beautiful space:

Our old kitchen waited for us outside the house.

But the biggest surprise was the amazing brick wall that was hidden behind our drywall in the kitchen. If we had known going in, we may have tried to incorporate it into the design, but our budget was already quite high and cleaning up the brick would have been time and money we were not currently willing to lose.

It is beautiful though and who knows how we can possibly incorporate it into some future design.

Now that Demo is done, what's next for our kitchen?
This demolition was done on the final weekend of June. As I type this it is August 17th. How much could possibly get done in 6 weeks? You will see all of July in my next post.
