Good bye kitchen

I bid goodbye to my kitchen of 10 years today. I have never really treasured my kitchen up to 3 months ago when I discovered my “hidden baking talent” by accident. Ummhmmm! :)

We decided to redo the kitchen to give it a modern taste since I am using it so often these days (instead of leaving it to Rose entirely). Well, since we are hacking the kitchen, we thought we might as well hack the bathrooms too! And since we are doing up the bathrooms, we might as well do up some book cabinets and a desk for N since she would be starting P1 soon. Oh, by the way, N insisted on a pink cabinet and a pink desk which almost freaked me out. Thank god, we managed to persuade her to let the ID uncle decide for her while we would get her a PINK chair in return. Phew! Otherwise, we would have a hard time selling the house in the future! You would surely get a headache when you walk into her room. Your vision just turns PINK instantaneously! Oh yes, since we are doing the cabinets for N, L decided he wanted a couple too :(. And last but not least, since we are doing some cabinets for N and L, we decided to install one in Rose’s room too :)

Ideally, we would like to re-do the entire house (ie. Tear down the bedroom wardrobes, have some ID in the living and dining rooms) but we can’t practically as we are still living in it. Moving out temporarily is not an option for me as I do not want the kids’ routine to be disrupted.

Now, you can imagine the consequence of one “since” leading to another “since”. Well, it will take 1 full month before we can restore our kitchen and bathrooms. Thankfully, we will be away for vacation for 1 full week and this helps to reduce our “pains and sufferings” during the renovation period :)
