Our least favorite window, above the sink, actually stayed, but had new sashes put in. And you can see how much pink-with-gold-flecks counter top we had.
During: Demo!
This is when the flat roof went missing. The window is still the one over the sink.
Framing for the two new windows facing the back yard. The one on the left is where the booth will go.
Stuffed…
And rocked.
After: This is the corner where the stove used to be, now the “baking center”. I still need to make the stained/ patterned glass inserts for the upper cupboard doors, though it is very convenient to just reach in. The tile backsplash is being planned. The under cabinet lights are great. We have our tray/cutting board storage right next to the sink. It was a small, leftover, space, but was made very useful. In the corner is a “super-susan” – there is another one in the other corner.
The window looks and works much better with the new sashes. The faucet has a spray option, rotates and detaches (NOT for water fights). The boys think the flip-down front on the sink for sponge storage is very cool. Curtains for the windows are on order and should be here in a few weeks.
The dishwasher (yessss!), stove and microwave. The pendant lights, fan light, recessed light, and light over the booth are all on dimmers. It’s wonderful having light where you need it. You can see the other set of cupboard doors awaiting my glass creations. We are still (almost 4 months later) figuring out where to store things! But the kitchen works great – we managed to cook Thanksgiving dinner without getting in each other’s way.
The last remaining things are a movable cart (we have an outlet in the middle of the floor for power), and some shelving for Steve's Squeezebox along the wall next to the dining room door. Currently, we are using one of the bookcases, which works just fine for now.
