Kitchen Remodel
Some of you may be wondering why there haven’t been any recent posts. To answer you questions we have started to remodel our 1940′s era kitchen. I usually sew on our dining room table but as you can see…
…Our dining room is being used as our make-shift kitchenette.
Here are a few pictures of our kitchen before the demolition
My husband and I plan to do most everything ourselves. Hopefully the only
jobs we will have to hire out are the electrical, plumbing,
and cabinet/counter top installation.
In this picture you can see we have ripped up the tile floor. Underneath we found several layers of really old linoleum – that was ripped out too. The old sub floor was in very good condition so we were able to leave that alone. We also tore out the two closets at the rear of the room. We are hoping to stack the washer and dryer and put the fridge on the back wall as well. This will allow more counter top space near the range.
From this angle you will notice we closed off the door – which led into a bedroom. We still can’t figure out why there was a bedroom attached to a kitchen. It felt more like a big hallway than a room. You will also notice we have torn out all the cabinets and old counter tops. Underneath the cabinets we found 5 or 6 different colors of paint. One was even bright teal -we can thank the 1980′s for that.
