"Blog Your Kitchen!" - DSH

So Deb will stop yelling at me...

We started our big kitchen renovation in April. I have 100s of pictures of the process. (It was a total gut - floor to ceiling... Took about 8 weeks.) But for this blog entry I'm just going to show before and after. Trust me, it's better if you're spared the "during." I'm trying to block it out myself... Totally worth it though. We are very happy with the end result. Now on to other projects we've talked about but not done for 10+ years... :)


the basement stairs and doorway to the living room


mud room door & dishwasher


mud room door & stove


stove area and the wall that is no longer there


pantry and fridge wall - this wall is still there but smaller. The old pantry was removed as well as an enormous center chimney (buried in the wall) which went roof to basement through our house.


pantry - once the chimney came down we had room for the fridge and a massive pantry cabinet on that wall


old, ugly, stained dropped ceiling and fluorescent light/new (clean! white! high!) sheet rock ceiling and recessed lighting


sink wall with drafty, back-breaking windows, crappy drawers and cabinets and ORANGE counter top


the whole sink wall/window to side yard


view from the dining room
