Well, it's finally time to tackle the biggest, or rather, most expensive renovation project, and that is the kitchen. I don't plan to do anything too elaborate, but I'll be adding in a peninsula to expand the counter space, removing the soffits above the existing upper cabinets to expand the space up, and I already removed the built in pantry a while back so the fridge would move into that space.
To continue the floor work that I started in living room and beyond, I first started on adding more osb to the floors in the kitchen to give it more of a solid foundation for the marmoleum flooring that will continue in the kitchen as well.

Still need to buy more sheets to complete the floor, and also temporarily remove the lower cabinets in order to do so.
Next, I moved onto removing the soffits, which I wasn't looking forward to, as I'd be dealing with attic insulation, and I imagined a mess. Turned out it wasn't too bad as I took things slow, and was able to clean out the insulation as I went, without it falling down on me as I'd had some foresight and stuffed in batt insulation years earlier above the soffits (when I insulated in the garage attic).

| And patched. |
I ended up tackling one side each weekend. So it took a bit of time, but here's a few pictures of the rest of it.
