Progress!

Okay. FINALLY.

We're making some progress.

Here are some pics of the kitchen when we looked at the house, followed by photos after this week's demolition work.

I could dance a jig. 

Yay! Yay! And hooray!

The cute little banquet behind the peninsula and next to the little random microwave cabinet.

The banquette. The peninsula removed. It was just so awkward. It really opens up the space. But I do really need the storage and work surface. Oh well.

The sink wall on the day we closed. The window opens into the breezeway / sunroom / foyer. 

The sink wall after demo. We removed the upper cabs to open the space up. I'm so happy there is wood behind it. And we were holding our breath to see if the V-groove paneling on the ceiling continued behind the fir down and it does. Awesome. So, no patching needed there.

The view from the breezeway door to the peninsula island and the sink wall. Cluttered.

The view today. 

The very awkward stove / refrigerator wall. There was a tiled wall between the stove and the refrigerator. Our refrigerator won't fit there. They must have had a larger stove back in the day. Above the stove is a huge vent hood.

And today, with the wall removed. And the overhead wall + vent hood.

Oh yeah.
