The first thing I did was wash everything that was setting out on the counters.

Everything is now nice and clean. It will be ready to come back into the kitchen or into the garage sale box. Very soon you won't be seeing those outdated blue counter tops in my pictures. Yeah!
The stove was pulled out and the microwave was taken down. All I can say about the stove is yuck! It will certainly be pulled out and cleaned more then once or twice a year.
After the stove and microwave was moved it was time to pull down the laminate that was behind the stove. We found the original kitchen walls.

Certainly vintage late 1950 early 1960's decor! I wouldn't want to see it everyday, but I admit it is fun seeing the way things were in the past.
I hope that we are able to get much accomplished over our long weekend. I look forward to sharing our progress next week. Have a great weekend!
