One Room Challenge Week 2

Week 2 is here and this post will be really short. If you did not know, I am participating in the Calling it Home's One Room Challenge as a linking particpant. You can see my plan here from week 1.

We did not get much done in the past week other than demolition.

Pretty huh? It was a busy week and weekend, so this is how far we got.  I must confess as my husband and I sat down and really talked about the plan of building the new cabinet for the bar, we both had a minor freak out moment. We weren't sure how exactly to best execute the plan and if we he could do it. We even thought of asking my uncle to just do it for us, since he is a carpenter/builder by trade, but after rounds of discussion I think we got our plan and will do it ourselves.

Something I found out last weekend too, was that Home Depot and I am guessing Lowes as well, have a minimum order when you order countertops. We just need this tiny area and you must order $1000 minimum. Ugh. However, the HD employee told us since we ordered countertops in the past from them, they would waive the minimum order for us. I grabbed a couple samples but not in love with them, so I am still on the search. Since this will be the same countertop I use in our adjoining kitchen for our someday kitchen remodel, I am being very picky. Wish me luck.

Ironically, I am not really a drinker but with the stress of this new bar area turning out good has me a bit worried and thinking I need to start drinking now. Yikes!

Sorry, there isn't more to report. Come back next week and hopefully I will have a lot more progress to show and hopefully I won't have started a drinking problem by next week.
