It has begun. And our former galley kitchen is now emptied out, making it feel like the tiniest little box. I'm surprised by how much smaller it feels now.
Our contractor was apparently quite excited by what resided underneath the tiles: good, strong, smooth concrete.
I came home one day, was greeted by this huge trench in the wall, and flipped.
Ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod!! What is this, why is this, look at how deep this is, are we allowed to be doing this?! I freaked. We had decided to rewire the kitchen, which meant the baseboards in the dining area were taken off, a channel was cut into the wall for BX wiring, three holes in the ceiling were made to snake the wiring through, and a good portion of the wall was opened up to allow for a new electrical panel. It was horrendous looking.
Go away, go away, go away! So much for our striped hallway project that we labored over meticulously one weekend.
While we're at it, can we have two living room sconces? Why, yes you can. We'll just drill from the kitchen side of the wall into the living room. Easy enough.
Except for the fact that no one realized the kitchen wall ended before the living room wall, so the sconce on the far left side was left stranded. A cute little trench was dug out to reach it. We're coming! No worries! (Um, big mess in the living room.)
My pretty, you will soon be placed. (A Thomas O'Brien sconce, but in Hand-rubbed antiqued brass instead.)
