Kitchen renovations feel like they’ve lasted a lifetime.
In reality I wanted them done yesterday, but that isn’t real life or realistic.
Whenever you see renovations happening online, it takes a reel of time to start and finish.
There isn’t conversation over cost,
There isn’t conversation over money saving,
There isn’t a conversation at all… it’s just finished.
Our reality is, we want to finish our kitchen in a week, because we can’t afford too.
This wasn’t planned and we didn’t budget for it.
When Braedon was working away we grabbed windows off of Facebook market place because we knew it would happen one day, but not like this.
We wanted to save for a propane stove and we never anticipated loosing our dishwasher to mice.
So here we are, somewhat paused in the middle of a forced Reno because we need to wait for a stove to fit the space we need and a second hand dishwasher.
And that’s okay.
It’s reality.
Most don’t talk about the finances that come with building or renovations, but they are there sitting in the middle of it all.
I guess I’m sharing this to normalize not having it all together, all the time… and that’s ok.
We got our window in this week, we don’t have cabinets or a dishwasher.
We’ve got our stove hooked up and only our island to work with… and we’re figuring it out as we go.
This is life.
Learning to work with the punches and be okay with the out come.
Oh and this is the view we are lucky enough to have while cooking from now on.
It’s the little things.
