We arrive home. I mentally prepare myself that it may not be completed. And much to my surprise, it was and I love it! Yep, my gutted kitchen is 110% more livable then the original kitchen. Bigger, brighter, and bountiful. Camp kitchen cooking for the next 6 months while I figure out how I move around in the space, where I am inclined to want to put things, roll things and wash things.
I finally find a place for drying baggies and bibs! The sink was moved to this wall, where plumbing was already in place for a washing machine.
Corner cabinets and stove were removed. Stove pushed against wall. Upper and lower cabinets removed from fridge area. Cutting board cabinet reused beside stove. I would like a sitting area in place of the fridge, but not sure if I can forgo the wall and area for a table. hmmm
Wall cabinet / pantry / desk removed. Currently will host pet station and small cupboard.
We left the existing plumbing intact.Just have to step around this, better then the peninsula I was moving around. And the half bathroom.
Now I just need to move all the food and pots and pans and small appliances back into the kitchen so the other living areas return to their normal.
I originally thought I would replace the floor first. But electrical work and a new stove trump that. I have not been able to bake for a year. Everything burns. I need a new stove. And the ceiling light is faulty.
Go here and here for kitchen reno pictures and plan!
