Kitchen Before & Afters

Remember that kitchen project we’ve spent the better part of this year talking about and then abruptly stopped discussing? Well, it turns out that you don’t have a lot of time for writing when you are constructing. And just when we were done constructing life got busy.

We’ve been done-ish for a few weeks. All that is left is to pick out a backsplash and a light to hang above the sink.

So without further delay, here’s an update on how the kitchen turned out. Drumroll please.

This is probably the most dramatic change in the house. Taking down the wall between the kitchen and the front rooms makes the house feel so much bigger. Taking down the wall also gives us more space to ooh and ahh over all the kitchen updates.

One of the things that I’m most happy about is that we now have enough storage in the kitchen for our kitchen things. No more pots & pans in the mystery room, which does take a bit of the mystery away.

The kitchen got the most attention in this renovation, but the mystery room benefited from having equally tragic flooring that also needed replacing. Again, less mystery in there.

We plan on posting more detailed info and maybe even going back and posting about the process along the way. Hopefully we’ll even do this before another three months go by. Hopefully.
