Kitchen Demo

Yep, we did it. We tore into the one room that we really hadn't touched much during this renovation. The kitchen "makes or breaks" a house design in my opinion, so I really wanted to make sure it was right. After a lot of brainstorming and tweaking, I came up with a reconfiguration that would completely change the function and aesthetics of the kitchen, but we could use all of our existing cabinets -- major budget saver. It was a bit of a challenge to get Luke on-board, but he finally agreed that the new plan made a lot of sense. So, demo began!

This is our makeshift kitchen downstairs...yep, very classy.

Again, my brother-in-law was awesome and came to help us for the weekend. Between Luke and Brett, we were able to get all the plumbing moved and most of the electrical work finished. Because we are completely changing the configuration, we had to redesign the lighting plan. Good thing we are redoing the ceiling because currently, the ceiling looks like Wack-a-Mole with all the holes in it.

Yes, moving plumbing is a bit of a mess... Good thing the guys know what they are doing!

We're almost done reinstalling all the cabinets, so progress pictures are coming soon. The new layout is such a huge improvement!
