As of today, only "after" photos

We took many pics today to document our "Before" area. It is both exciting and nerve wracking to imagine an empty space tomorrow evening, where a kitchen stands today. Good bye to our oven, stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, sink, floor, pantry, cabinets- everything!

One of the biggest improvements will be to get rid of the pantry to extend the space. Pantry today:

 The other areas of impact will be removing the tower that now holds the micro and oven:

And then extending the new cabinets and countertops through, into the now empty family room:

I'm very excited to see the color palette at work. Over the years my eye for design has evolved. I'm very drawn to cool tones like blue, gray and white. This area is very warm with the wood tones, brownish-red granite and sandy yellow floor and tile. The new palate will compliment other elements of our home and inspire a feeling of calmness and order. It may not be for many weeks that we have pics of the new counters and backsplash-- those things are done toward the end.

We bought all new LG appliances, they should arrive in another week or so.

Not so huge, not so functional

This thing is HUGE!!

Mark found the biggest sink I've ever seen (yet always wanted!) and it will make doing the dishes almost enjoyable. Almost. See the current and new.




I will have the initial demo pics later Monday night. How exciting!!
