Kitchen Remodel: "Before" Pictures

This week demolition started on our kitchen as the remodel kicked into high gear. The main feature of our remodel is to open the wall between the kitchen and the dining room. This blog entry will show what we started with.


Our first floor layout...

Years Ago...

The kitchen right before we bought the house...
...notice the lovely wallpaper, light on the right, and bisque appliances...
...and *NO* dishwasher!


Again the kitchen right before we bought the house...
...notices the sink...
...Paul's father put in a stainless one later on...


Present Day

The kitchen right before the demo started...
...through the left door is the living room...


Here's the refrigerator that we bought that resulted in us getting all stainless appliances..
...note the new window...


More stainless appliances...
...they are often victimized by Sammy's fingers...
...often making the kitchen look like a CSI crime scene...
...notice our dishwasher...
...we were married for 13 years without one!


Through that doorway is the dining room...
...most of this wall will be gone soon...


No longer will we be able to have a table in the kitchen...
...this will host the refrigerator and the wall oven...


Through this doorway from the dining room is the kitchen...
...the red line shows where the wall will be cut out...
