Up to my elbows in stain...

I'm actually doing it...the cabinet renovation has begun. I have to admit, I've been hugely depressed the last several weeks and I think it stems in part to my completely dirty, torn apart house. And when it's your kitchen, it makes it even worse.

Remember those weeks and weeks ago that I started renovating? Well, it's been nothing but headache after headache. Shattered granite, cracked grout, etc, etc. I finally threw my hands up and said, "I quit!" (after pulling the doors off my kitchen cabinets). So we've been in limbo, because we all know that if I don't do it, it's not going to get done! lol

Living out of boxes, because I have no drawers, has been taxing none the less. Reminds me of all those good ole' moves. It takes me so much longer to cook when I have to go dig through a box to find a spoon, measuring cup, or towel.

My house is littered with doors, literally perched in every available corner. At one time I had doors laying on tables in the kitchen, food storage room and craft room.

Here's what my craft room looks like! Can we say, "Disaster zone!" All the drawers are scattered on the floor, with doors covering the island. I just close the doors to the room and pray that no one notices! But if you look closely, VERY closely, I was actually able to get the bond coat on the drawers. Still a long ways to go (glaze and protective coat to come).

But I am making progress....say a little prayer that it goes well, or I'll be packing up and moving!
