So we have had A LOT of sandwiches lately, because...well our kitchen is technically in non-working order and that's just what you eat! Anyway, so the other night (I think it was day 4 of demo, which translates to 6/7 sandwiches) Micah and I had the "what do you want for dinner" discussion. Here is our dialog:
Micah- "What's the plan for dinner?"
Me- "Well, lets see....hmmm...we can do sandwiches, sandwiches, or get take out."
Micah- (pause) "I tell you what beautiful (that's what he calls me), we can do sandwiches but we can embelish them!"
Me- (thinking-oh yummy, something different!) "Embelish them? Like with what Babe?"
Micah- (no joke-this was his reply) "With Chips!!!"
Me- "hahahahahahahhahahahhahahhahhaa, REALLY? Hahahahahahahaha!"
Ok- really, I thought this was too funny! I am still chuckling thinking about it! If we think that adding chips to our sandwich meal is an "embelishment" then we need to get out more!! Are chips not the #1 side dish for a sandwich? Anyway- gotta love my hubby for trying to make something "blah" seem exceptional!! LOVE HIM!
Demo Pics:
Before...
Micah actually chipped these off about 2 years ago b/c we thought we might redo the counter top then...never seemed to get back around to it!!
no turning back now!
I don't know if you can tell, but there was this chicken wire stuff that was mortared to the backing that was mortared to the tile...ummm...NOT easy to get off!!
First "war" wound! It was right on the elbow bone and we wouldn't get it to stop bleeding, so I put a gauze pad under a band-aid and then secured it with painters tape!! Shoulda taken a pic of that!!
After about an hour, Micah finally got a big chunk pried off!
bye bye yellow tile!
"is that a sink full of counter top?" Yes Sir!
Our friend Ryan came over to take part in the festivities!
This is the last pic I took, but it doesn't look like this now, ALL the stuff is cleared out, so it's a little neater than that ;)
More pics to come as we make progress!

i actually used to put my doritos on my PB & J back in the day. it did "embelish" the sandwich quite nicely. I still do it from time to time.
Lookin' good!!
Can't wait to see the finished product!
i must admit i'm getting a little stressed just lookin' at all that mess-ha!! i remember doing all that in our house-ahhh!! nuts...but always worth it in the end. good luck and can't wait to see the finished product!!!:)
We used to put jalapenos and potato chips on our pimento sandwiches...it actually sounds good now! BTW- I have been through kitchen demo with my folks and it seems to be the messiest process, but SO worth it in the end.
Fun! I can't wait to see the finished product either! About the chicken wire, I just had to crack up. We have taken on projects before that made us wonder what in the world the people before us were thinking! Keep up the good work!
Oh, aren't those DIY projects fun! ha ha. It's never as easy as you think it'll be, but so rewarding when you're done! Repainting is our next project. I can't wait!! :) I love your red cabinets by the way. too cute.
