Above is the layout that we had planned on for months. This includes swapping the placement of the stove and refigerator.
At the last minute, we decided to close in the corner and use the doorway in the dining room to get into the basement. I think this is going to make our kitchen feel like a REAL kitchen and not just a pass-through area. It should also give us some nice counter space so that more than one person can be working in the kitchen comfortably.
- Before
Here is a before shot (minus the refigerator – which is now in our dining room) of the pass-through corner.
After
I had forgotten that I had an outlet in my pantry. Can you imagine – I have never used it the 13 years that I have lived here.
On Sunday evening………..
Tom decided that we should figure out if we needed all the wires that were running through our office area. As it turns out, this old telephone box was there just for looks (or eyesore). Tom removed the box and extra wires. It is really fun to remove this kind of stuff and see some of the history of a house. Do you like that green paint? Can you imagine the whole room painted that color?
We also spent some time marking exactly where we want the outlets and…………..
deciding where we wanted to mount the TV on the wall and placement of the outlet for the TV.
@ Hillary – when we started Emily requested the daily updates so she could know exactly what was going on. I had done that when we did our basement and she loved it.
@ Susan – we are having way too much fun so I guess it better get over really soon so we don’t take more fun than our far share?
I love watching a remodel. Your pictures are fun. Excited to see the final project!
I am getting excited also. The results of remodel are so fun. The process not so much fun.
