One more room lost as we make room for cabinets
Just as we were getting used to living in two rooms downstairs - the living room and dining room - we had to clear everything out of the dining room to make way for the cabinets, which will be delivered today. To the basement went the table, chairs, bookshelf, and the kitchen blinds which had been safely stored in there since they were taken down the first day. Now I’m hitting my head on the chandelier every time I walk through the room.

Of course, all of this was necessary for the project to move forward, but losing the use of another room is actually pretty inconvenient. We’d been using the table like we would have used the kitchen counter before - for drying dishes, holding pizza boxes and take-out containers while we ate, and so on.
Still, I’m not complaining. It’s exciting that the cabinets will be here today. We’re looking forward to seeing what we bought so many months ago, even if they’re all disassembled and in boxes.
Today the drywall goes up, and tomorrow it gets plastered. Pictures when the work is done…
