Home renovations

So Brian FINALLY got the opportunity to tear down the kitchen wall/cabinet that he has wanted gone since we moved in.  I know how things are never as easy as you think they will be - but he got the project started this past weekend.

A few before pictures - with our sweet navy blue tile backsplash :)






The kids thought this was pretty cool when Brian started cutting into the wall - 
They promptly asked to play "pizza shop" and Brian and I came to the window to order our pizza from the chef (Colin) and server (Maggie)



Just realized my kids aren't wearing pants in this picture - not sure about that...






Isn't the lovely pinkish-red flower wallpaper a nice addition to our kitchen?


Brian etched a portrait of Colin into the wall before he cut it out.  If you look real close you can see it!



And how the wall looks today.
We are going to build up a higher kitchen counter to sit at, so there will be a little room for Brian to have the electrical plug ins put in.  
He will be putting up some dry wall this weekend (while I take the kids to Meemaws to get them out of the house) and hopefully it won't look torn apart.

If you know me at all, you know this is KILLING me to have part of my kitchen all sorts of messed up.  But, I know Brian wants to do it right and is doing a great job so far.  I just can't wait for it to look a little more polished!
