Love and demolition

So the long weekend is now over, sigh, and what a wonder full time it was.

We were off in Cape Breton for a close friend's wedding. It was my first time up to the "Cape" and Dave's first time since hockey play offs when he was young. It was beyond beautiful! If only the weather was better...

On the drive up we stopped in at a small bakery in Baddeck for a bathroom break. On the way out though the intoxicating smell of baked goods was all too alluring for us to bear. Dave ended up finding some oat cakes with peanut centers dipped in chocolate. As Dave stated "It's all my favorite things in one bite!" He was in love!

It's hard to capture the look of joy as he ate...

I was taken in by the gingerbread cookies, mmmmm

The drive up was quick but beautiful. We camped one night and the next was the wedding. The wedding ceremony and reception was at the Keltic Lodge. What a beautiful area!

What a beautiful happy couple too! :) It was an amazing time.

So, when we got home Monday afternoon, Dave started the demolition.

We have a disgusting kitchen. It is barely suitable for human life, so a makeover has been in order for a while. With the added incentive of a baby on the way, Dave has taken two weeks off work to get it done.

So I guess I should show the horrible before picture.... I warn you, it's bad and I know it...

Since this picture was taken we did get a new fridge... Everything else was the exact same... yeah it was that bad...

So, I should explain why this is just so horrible. We bought an apartment building with the intention of fixing up all the units and making some money off rent. We moved into the basement apartment, the ugly one, because of all the work it needed. We did make a lot of renovations before we moved in, but time and money was a factor for the kitchen. Now that we have saved up some money and can spare the time, I get a new kitchen!!! yay!

Only by Monday night I had this as a kitchen...

This was how it started...

And this is the kitchen I now have to live with...

I have been repeating to myself, it will be beautiful, it will be beautiful, it will be beautiful...
