Day 1- Demo!
I seriously couldn't believe how much bigger my place looked once that wall was opened up. Talk about immediate gratification! As you can see, we looked into opening up to the ceiling but we found some duct work we couldn't move so we left it slightly lower.
Day 2- Adding a wall
We put a half wall between the washing machine and the HVAC stuff. This way we could put a door in front of the HVAC/hot water heater and open up the space where we were going to move the refrigerator. In case you were wondering, it had to be a half wall so air could circulate.
Day 3- Lighting
The florescent light in the kitchen was beautiful. Please note the sarcasm. So the last major item on the agenda for the weekend was to remove that and install recessed lights!
It was 3 days of intense work but it finally allowed me to see my dream begin to come together. I think this comparison shows the most progress!
I realized that I wasn't just remodeling my kitchen but changing my living room as well. Instead of having a weird pass through both rooms now flow easily and I have created a much bigger space.
Next steps:
- Lots and lots of spackling
- Re-measure
- Order cabinets, granite, and everything else!
