Concrete counter tops, appliances, bathroom demo- Oh My!

Well what a productive 2 weeks! Other than Kendall celebrating a milestone birthday...(yeah 30!!) we got a lot done, and the first floor kitchen is damn near done! The counter tops went in, and everything looks great. Just a few finishing touches and it will be all done. Which means, demo started today on the 2nd floor bathroom :-) Talk a look at the last 2 weeks progress:

The concrete counter tops: Thousands of dollars less than granite, and way more fun to make (just ask bri and dimitri, haha) Here are the finishing touches...
Dimitri- polishing the concrete
Bri does a little sanding to the sink piece
Boys to the rescue! The daunting task of carrying the largest counter upstairs- 500 Lbs.

Good job guys- almost there...

Home stretch...
And done! largest piece in place- wooo!

Kitchen area, complete with counter top, sink, appliances and cabinets
Fridge area, not quite done
Complete sink area, look at those beautiful counters!
Complete and functional- all in about 2 months
Kitchen, doin it's job


Sneaky Dimitri, doing some electrical


And this is what happens when let Bri loose in your bathroom..

Getting right to work on this mess

Yikes- this is what my bathroom currenly looks like, yup.
Darius, finally lifts a paw to help!



Frosting the sliding glass shower doors
Bri is building all bathroom furniture- shelving unit and vanity...in our guest room
Bathroom + Kitchen = Bitchen. For the next few weeks, I can apply my makeup while washing my dishes. Hooray


Kitchen #1 Before...


Kitchen #1 After!
