Our kitchen has been literally falling apart in our hands for the past 5 years. IN OUR HANDS! But the lure of Europe was too strong for us to ignore and we chose to travel every summer instead of fixing up our kitchen. Until now.
And what started out as a kitchen renovation has quickly morphed into an upper house reno. Because we all know when you make one area look nice, everywhere else looks the sh*ts by comparison.
So just to keep you all up to date, here's what's been happening. Some 'before' and 'after' photos for your viewing pleasure.

The smartest thing we did was have the wall between the kitchen and dining room removed. It looks so big now!
One room!
We also had the kitchen door removed and its space filled in. The postage stamp sized kitchen window will be replaced with a 12' wide window.
The kitchen door is gone. And look how big the new window will be!
The ceiling is gone, the pot lights are dangling, the insulation is stacked.
It is so convenient to go to the bathroom, have a shower AND wash your dishes all at the same time!
Stay tuned. More to come.
Wow what an overhaul... all you need in your bathroom is the toaster and then you can do personal hygiene, breakfast and the cleanup all at one stop! shu

ReplyDeleteWow! What a transformation. I love the openness of it and can hardly wait to see it all come together. Lots of room to jig :)
It's all a thing of beauty - even in its demolished state...the Chrysalis stage will leave way for the birth of the beautifully transformed caterpillar into the magnificent butterfly - the new kitchen. Looking forward to the next update. :)
