Kitchen desconstruction
We’ve started doing a little bit to the kitchen to get it ready for the changes we want to make. Step one was tearing out the false ceiling:
Step two was tearing out these cabinets:
So, now it feels much more open from the kitchen through to the dining room and beyond into the living room:
All the photos can be clicked to see larger images with more detail. Including our slightly sloppy counter tops & dining room table!
The plan is to get a new stove, and put that in the breakfast nook. In here, on the left side behind the curved wall… that’s where the fridge is now:
In that photo above, the floor-to-ceiling cabinet will be coming out too. That’s another false wall between the kitchen and the dining room. The fridge will be moved over to the wall that is to the right of the current stove. The unit where the stove is now will come out, and we’ll probably put in an island, so there will be kitchen entrances on both sides of that.
We’re going to get some metal cabinetry to put down in the basement to store food, keeping only the day-to-day items upstairs. We’re considering open shelving for everything else, but we have to plan that carefully now that we have these two cats.
And that’s been our Saturday!
