And the DEMOLITION continues!

Progress is being made. This is no easy task and it is not the most enjoyable of tasks... but when you accomplish something it is definitely note worthy.
Nate was able to put crown molding on our cupboards and surprisingly it looks pretty good.

My talented brother-in-law Matt, came down to help us with our renovation project. He tore out the fireplace and capped our gas line for us! It is amazing how much the removal of the fireplace opened
 up the space! Matt is really knowledgeable about renovating house. He renovated his last house from top to bottom and it was AMAZING! We are lucky to have him help us.

Next, Nate was able to start priming our cabinets for painting.
I am actually liking how they are coming together.

What I am not liking is the preparation and cleaning... SERIOUSLY! SO. GROSS. This picture is a before and after picture of the top of the cupboards. All greased out and NASTY! I should mention that they have been cleaned 3 times before these pictures were taken. My mom and I took drastic measures and did a DEEP cleaning. Looks a lot better now.
