Today I began to disassemble the old island in anticipation of installing the newwwww one!! I unpacked the whole thing this morning and stacked it up on the camp table nearby. It made a huge mess, but such is renovations, I suppose!
This is the progress so far.
Before:
and now!
I also have gone inside the cabinets and tried to unscrew as much of the island top as I can find. However, the old stove top is now getting in my way. I can’t take the island top off because I can’t remove the stove top. Its a gas stove, so I can’t just casually unplug it. I have to leave some doors on to protect the lines from the babies, and I have to leave a shelf in so they can’t climb in from the other side. I SO wish I could get that thing out of my way so I could keep disassembling it but it appears I am at a standstill.
I suppose I will wait for the evening when Brady can do some of the dirty work. Le sigh.
I’m antsy. Somehow it just feels like the new island will bring a whole new level of “home” to our home. I can’t explain it, but I’m so stoked.
