WHEW! Finally have the contractors done with their part of the remodel-- now to sweep up the dust and get some finish work going. Minor details like floors, cabinets, counters.... piece of cake.
Here is the original space,
Here it is with some walls knocked out and the staircase to downstairs being deleted.
And here we go with a new doorway, and space for the fridge to be INSIDE the kitchen for once!
We also opened up the wall between the kitchen and livingroom, and will eventually put a breakfast bar with stools in this space.
They did a great job of matching the original arches for the house-- it makes it feel SO much bigger!
Hardly noticed being w/o a stove for a month! Although I am looking forward to a meal that doesn't have at least trace amounts of drywall dust in it...
