If you can't take the dog, get out of the kitchen

I didn't use a 'home' phrase/saying this time, but I thought a kitchen phrase would be more appropriate. 

As move in day approaches (next weekend to be exact) the kitchen remodel has started. We wanted to get everything done before moving - we dream big. This isn't as easy as we thought since we are moving our water line, gas line and electric. Living 2 hours away while doing all of this also poses a problem because of our different work schedules in Erie. But, we did start the demo. Cabinets are coming off and soon the wall will finally be down and my kitchen will be able to see the light! Who knows when the finished project will be ready for the unveiling, but we are working on it! 

The color scheme. Dark cabinets, white Corian countertops and grey slate floor. I'm in love with what we came up with and can't wait for the finished results. 

One other project we came up with is making a dog-bowl/food cabinet for the dogs! There is nowhere to really keep the dog food anymore, so this is our solution. We are going to get some extra side panels that match our kitchen cabinets and build a box that looks like the one below. Sounds easy, right?

Home, Dog, Home

I am seeing how many 'home' sayings I can put the word 'dog' into. So far - TWO! That has to be some kind of record.
As promised (and also late) here is a mini-tour of our home. We already have tons of plans for every room - including ripping up carpets (which have hardwood floor under it), painting, and redoing our entire kitchen.

Welp, here it is, home. 

I love this door, but it needs some updating! 

Notice how dark the kitchen looks through the peek-though. (I call it a peak through, anyway.) 

The dogs love the windows and the back yard. I am hoping they will love the pool too. I know I  love pool. Also - remember that kitchen picture, in a month it will be totally renovated.
