Renovations...

Before:



After:



Our kitchen.  Obviously, it's not completely done.  There's still some door/window trim missing, and the baseboard trim as well.  However, it's a HUMONGOUS improvement, no?

This room started out completely disgusting, and was walled off from the rest of the house.  We started out by taking down the ceiling tiles, knocking out the walls, and making the whole downstairs open-concept.  The first photo is just of the kitchen, and the second photo shows the view from the end of the dining area, looking in to the new kitchen.

Just like in every other room in the house, we took it down the the studs (bye bye horrible paneling, nasty linoleum floors, and non-working windows.  Hello, brand new vinyl windows that open, actual insulation, hickory floors, and grey paint.

More to come... I'm off to pick the little girl up from Girl Scouts!
