I figured the only way to stay on task was to blog about it, and 5 Minutes for Mom happens to have the remedy: “Tackle It Tuesday”. Perhaps you saw a taste of what I was in store for last week with my kitchen photos. I decided today was really the day. I need at least one clean room in this house!! So here’s some before shots (these look better than last week!):
After the kitchen had been literally shoveled out from the debris of the ceiling, there were chunks of plaster everywhere. Water and dirt had dried to the floor. Yuck. I started at the top and worked my way down to the floor. I hauled out 2 large bags of junk and that big trash can full of plaster and wood pieces. It took me most of the day…but I got it done!!
I have to say HOORAY! for Mr. Clean with Febreze (Meadow and Rain scent, and no, I’m not advertising), that stuff was so nice!! I was getting really tired of that yucky dirty water smell and the Mr. Clean really did the trick. I had to haul the buckets of water from upstairs, this sink still isn’t working. What I still need to tackle: The front of the fridge! But I need some sleep first!

Well, I am impressed!! I think it looks awesome - any chance you want to come and clean my kitchen like that? :)
You're making good progress. It's taken me two weeks to start cleaning the clutter off my countertops! I'm going to start a minor makeover in my kitchen this month. See pictures at http://benchmark60.blogspot.com/
That is a HUGE tackle!!! Awesome job!!
It looks great! I hope you were able to get some rest after wards!
WOW, that looks amazing! I also love the sweet, older, country feel to your kitchen. :-) I have tried, but just can't accomplish that feeling!
Wait! Wait! I'm blinded by the sparkle coming off that last photo!
Sweet dreams!
Barbara
You did a fantastic job!
