Even though I'm not a gourmet cook or anything, I'm so excited that we're finally remodeling our dated and dysfunctional kitchen. Seth removed the raised bar and started on the tile backsplash in preparation for our new countertops. I was on wallpaper-removal-duty; hooray for no more fruity wallpaper! I also helped Seth move our fridge out of the time-out closet (bottom right picture) and into it's new home, where our pantry used to be (left side of top picture). We still have such a long road ahead, but we've made great progress this week.
