The Doyles get a new kitchen

by Joe Doyle on May 1, 2009

Here’s an idea.

Travel with your toddler twins to Chicagoland for a week-long wedding celebration. But before that, prep an SUV-sized load of goods together for the AMOM sale, host a generous-sized birthday party for said soon-to-be two-year olds, build new beds in your lawn, oh, and remodel your kitchen.

That’s May for us.
Not much else going one ’cause there ain’t no more room.

We’re on day five of a 12-day construction job that sucks our old kitchen away and brings us a new one. We’ve hired Stalelife client and friend, Gary Crowell of Vinaire to GC the operation, and he’s been great to work with (I’m totally writing this so he stays on his toes).

In all seriousness, he’s a smart guy and builder and we’re happy to have him on board.

Check out the Flickr site for a few more pics. I’ll be updating there as we get along. Today will finish the cabinet install, more paint and waiting until Monday to start day six.

Happy Friday!

Wow! The new look of the kitchen will really make a big change.
The conditions of the living area looks to be mighty challenging.
How are the twins enjoying all the access to the cool stuff being
moved around? I can not begin to imagine how you can keep them
out of everything. Hang in there, good parenting does evenually
get easier. Like in 30 years.
Love,
Mom

They’re doing OK - staying clear for the most part. But this weekend will be the true test. I’m seeing a lot of outdoor time.
