Kitchen Remodel—Good-Bye Really Big Cabinet

Well, this is long overdue update on our kitchen remodel. Just to refresh your memory, our kitchen used to look like this.

And this

kitchen remodel

If you look closely in the above picture, you can see the white microwave sitting in the large cabinet to the left of the refrigerator.

Here’s a better picture of the cabinet. The microwave has been removed.

kitchen remodel

Well, anyway, this was the next project in our kitchen remodel—removing this large cabinet.

Now, this cabinet wasn’t much to look at, but it held a LOT of stuff. I am getting a pantry in my new kitchen, so hopefully I won’t miss this one too much.

Here’s a picture of this corner with the cabinet removed.

kitchen remodel

As you can see, part of the wall is gone too. I forgot to take a picture after the cabinet was removed. By the time I remembered, more demo had commenced in that area. Oops!

Our kitchen remodel is progressing steadily. I can’t wait for it to be done. I HATE dust, and there seems to be a lot of that around here lately. You just have to learn to live with it and keep thinking “new kitchen, new kitchen.”

Well, hope you enjoyed my update to our kitchen remodel. Stay tuned for more!

Have a great day!

Denise

PS-The large cabinet found a new home upstairs in my husband’s garage. It was SO big, he had to cut it in half to get it up the stairs. Smile

Skinny Scrappy Scarves are long and skinny handmade scarves measuring approximately 76" long and 4" wide. (Please note, our scarves are unique and one of a kind, and the length and width can vary some. If you'd like exact measurements for a specific scarf, please contact us before making your purchase.)

orange and white scarf

Our scarves are carefully sewn (no knots) on a sewing machine using horizontal, vertical, and diagonal straight stitching to hold all the strips of yarn and fabric firmly in place. They are then zigzagged around all the edges, excluding the fringe, of course. They can be GENTLY hand washed and then hung up to dry.

You can wear them many different ways. Wrap them around a couple of times depending on how long you would like them and how warm you want your neck to be! Or wear them the Parisian way by doubling them and pulling the ends through the loop - as shown in the pictures. They are very versatile and can be worn with a t-shirt and jeans, at the office, or dressed up for a night out.

The picture below shows the gift wrapping your item will arrive with. Scarves arrive wrapped in kraft paper; flower pins and bracelets arrive in gift boxes.
