So for some reason I had put the kitchen as last on my list to make decisions about...which I am regretting now seeing as how I have now lived here for 2 months (way behind on the blog btw) and still do not have a working kitchen sink...ANYWAY, let me try get back to mid June when my kitchen was getting updated...extended...renovated...not sure the word to use here.
At the beginning I decided I would keep the kitchen cabinets and just add onto them, thinking this was a cheaper route. I think it did save me some money and left some of the original character...but it wasn't cheap adding what essentially was custom cabinets and it pushed my timeframe out about 2 weeks. I could blame this on the contractor who didn't bother to show up the fourth day or anytime thereafter but I would have been on the ball they probably could have gotten built a month before. So here are some mid-build pictures for now and hopefully once I actually post the final pics I might just have countertops and a sink!
In the picture below the fridge will go on the left (where the stove use to be). Existing cabinets remain past the window on the right.
In the picture below the cabinet to the right is where the side door into the house use to be. I was able to add a dishwasher, move over the existing base cabinet for re-use, add a trash pull out and then wrap the cabinets around the other side. Essentially I added 2 feet in length to the kitchen but by removing the side door I doubled the size of my cabinets and countertop. (The microwave is sitting where the sink will be).
In this last picture the bulkhead above is where the wall use to be. The stove and microwave niche was added and the opening to the right leads to the new back mud hallway and back door.
And we now enter Crunch Time!!
