The Gailey Kitchen Transformation....


Well it has been almost a year ago this month that we started the

The Gailey Kitchen Transformation

and I am pleased now to post some of the highlights....



The Before shots... Heidi was picking out wall colors - see the wall opening into the living room from the never used dinning room.


Here is the kitchen space we had for almost 5 1/2 months! Now that was interesting. We could not run the microwave and other appliances at the same time - the circuit would pop and out to the garage we would go to reset!



Okay now we are going to show you some of the during photos.

It was an exciting process to watch - and rather dusty!!!

I just looked at my wooden blinds in the living room and remembered that I haven't yet wipe off the 1 inch thick dust that is just sitting there - but that will have to be another day, Audrey is waiting for me to learn to blog and post so the dust will just have to wait!


So John had a great time helping - he took out his homework frustration!

Dust, Sweat and Tears!



Down to the bare bones! Everything must GO.........


They had to move the heater venting, electrical wires, lighting, plumbing and a great big beehive that was up above the bay window - lucky for us they were all dead - that nest was huge - 2' x 4' and the bees were almost 2 " thick! Glad that is gone! The previous owners must of had a problem and sealed the bee escape route and they bit the dust -so to speak!


And now what you all have been waiting for - -- the finished look!

Heidi just loves it! And when Mom is happy the family is happy!



THE END

I am so glad that you posted pictures. It turned out beautiful! Even if there is a little dust left over.
