#OneRoomChallenge 3: Building it Back Up - Chicago Downtown Kitchen RejuvenationWelcome back! We're on Week 3 of Calling it Home and HouseBeautiful magazine's Fall One Room Challenge - Chicago Urban Kitchen Remodel, a 6-week event twice a year where designers and bloggers come together to share how they've made over a room in their home. This year, we get to participate because, well, we made over a room and I have a blog! Here's where we stand:
And here we are, on Week 3 - Building it back up! So, due to the 6 week nature of the One Room Challenge, we're really speeding up time here, but by the time the photo above was taken, we had waited 5 weeks while living in temporary housing for these cabinet beauties and while our new floor was installed (the whole reason we are all here right now). It was really something to start to see the puzzle pieces come together! As a refresher, here was the cabinetry rendering provided by our cabinetry expert - looks pretty accurate, right? We ran into one snag when our new larger and leveled island was installed. Our installers accidentally installed the end pieces on the wrong sides, so the ends were not the right color - the colored ends were supposed to be outward facing but were instead inward facing. "They" say there are always a few things that need extra work during a remodel, so this was not a showstopper as just an aesthetic feature. Our fix is that our cabinetry expert ordered two end panels in the grey color desired and those will be installed soon. While the cabinetry was being mounted, we had other homework to accomplish:
This week's post is brief to represent the patience we needed while the rest of the elements were put in place. Next week, the fun stuff comes before the big reveal! I'll leave you with a sneak peek of my honey (otherwise known as the "Inventory Manager") inspecting our new kitchen storage: |
