kitchen progress
I know I haven't even shared the rest of the house with you, but I'm so flipping excited about the kitchen that I cannot wait any longer!
Here's the before...ugh.
The kitchen started off as 12x12 room that had 3 door ways and one wall of cabinets. That door opening (on left of below pic) used to go through to the living room but we opened up the other door way leading in to it so we could have more room for cabinets and appliances.

It was two rooms just a short while ago. The door way pictured below is the same spot the above picture was taken from. Matt and I did most of the demo. We did have lots of help from our friend Matt too. This closet was the only closet in the entire house. We did use this room as our bedroom when we first moved in but it was soon turned into our office since it's in the front of the house.

Here's the view from the other side of the room above. That chimney there with the brick has had to stay as it's not a fireplace chimney but it does have vents for other needed things (ie the furnace) running through it. I was a little disappointed about that but we did get our hopes up when we saw the brick. But my hopes were dashed when the previous owners put plaster directly on the other sides of it. And that stuff was not coming off with out ruining the brick.

There is the bigger opening into the living room. It's covered up to keep the dust and dirt out of the new side. You also get an awesome view of nasty wallpaper too! We ended up taking the plaster and lath off of all the walls and totally redrywalling the whole space.

And what a difference that makes! We widened the other entry too. And installed new tile, thanks again to our friend Matt and his wife Jenn!

I am so thankful for willing friends and a clean kitchen!
I will have more updates and details soon!

hello there and thank you for your information – I have definitely picked up something new from right here.
I did however expertise some technical issues using this website, as I experienced
to reload the website a lot of times previous to I could get it to load correctly.
I had been wondering if your web host is OK? Not that I am complaining, but sluggish loading instances
times will often affect your placement in google and could damage your
high quality score if ads and marketing with Adwords. Anyway I am adding this RSS to my e-mail and can look
out for a lot more of your respective exciting content.
Ensure that you update this again soon.

Great blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers?
I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you advise starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for
a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any ideas? Cheers!
