It’s the night before they’re coming to remove the old kitchen, and we’re packing everything up in boxes and moving it to the basement. Despite our need for more storage, we actually have a ton of stuff in the kitchen. It’s amazing how much you can cram into cabinets.
Plus, we need to figure out what to keep upstairs so that we can eat food we order, clean dishes, store leftovers, make coffee, etc. The cats are here supervising and making sure we don’t stow away any of their food or catnip. It’s daunting to think how much we use the kitchen and what it will be like not to have one for two months.
It’s also just strange to see the room empty:
Empty room #1
Empty room #2
Empty room #3

Here’s a look at the kitchen before the renovation. It’s not bad, but you can see how everything useful is along one wall. The other wall is where we’ve added a small pantry cabinet, a butcher block, and our trash and recycling. There’s a also a chair, which is mostly used by the cats. Just go ahead and try to take it from one of them.

Our weak lighting situation. Also note the water-damaged ceiling.
