One bank of cabinets is totally out. The soffit above is gone too, and the old tile backsplash is down.
FIL will have new cabinets done in 2-3 weeks. We’ll be away over Memorial Day and the next weekend and hopefully the weekend after that, the new cabinets can go in. Unless of course, DH and I are somewhere in Europe. He says Frankfurt is the first week of June, then London the second week, and Paris is the third. Even more a reason to hope for London or Paris!
Anyway, before cabinets can go in, the rest of the old cabinets have to come out, electrician needs to do his thing, and drywall/new ceiling need to go up. Sink is ordered, can lights are ordered. I’m in the process of moving the rest the contents of my upper cabinets to boxes in my dining room. DH is trying to keep the lowers and the island in place as long as possible so I have sink, dishwasher, and cooktop.
We still need to choose new decorative lights, choose drawer pulls & knobs, and choose new backsplash. I think we finally decided to try to match new hardwood to existing to cover the gaps instead of changing part of the floor to cork or tile.
Best case scenario? Everything is in place by end of June. I’ll be happy if it is all done by end of July.
