The Seventies Called And They Want Their Counter Tops Back

See that ugly photo of green and white...those are the current counter tops in the kitchen circa 1970something. Now you see why we need an update? White and green laminate that I'm sure was as fashionable as the avocado green tub in the bathroom.

I've pulled out the list of healthy choices for local restaurants because I know I’m not going to cook much this week. I could grill anything but I don’t want to dirty dishes because there is no where to put them. The water will be off in the kitchen sink and bathroom sink from Tuesday until they put in the new countertops that will hopefully be ready by Friday. We'll still have water in the utility sink in the garage, the shower and the other bathroom so its not like we will be completely roughing it.

Ken and I stood at the refrigerator Monday night shortly before bed and feasted on watermelon balls, blueberries and cherries.

Should we share a plate?

Only if you’re going to wash it..... you yelled at me for leaving a knife and toast crumbs on the counter, they are knocking down the counter tomorrow, who cares if there are toast crumbs on it

You aren’t going to be here, I am. I’m the one who they are going to look at and think “piggy piggy piggy”

You have issues (exaggerated eye roll)

I know. (exaggerated eye roll) Pass the blueberries.

And we still have water in the kitchen until Tuesday morning; imagine how this will be when we have to go all the way to the utility sink in the garage to rinse a dish. We'd never survive on a camping trip.

Here are a few photos to give you an idea of what I’ve been babbling about for the past two weeks.

After the carpet has been ripped up.

Yes thats a chair blocking the front door and all of the wood stacked up against the wall. The iron sconce next to the mirror is the one that fell on my toe. The candle was kind enough to hit the floor instead.

The old nasty baseboards have been ripped up and the flooring is under way.

After they've finished the floor and new baseboards. I'll post official after photos once the room is back in order.

This photo is a little dark, I left the valance up but took down the curtains to wash them and haven't put them back up yet. Of course the bowflex was one of the first things Ken put back in the room...even before my computer...priorities or what?
