Last night we took the first step to improving our kitchen.

Now I know some of you out there are aware that we’ve been talking about projects to do around our house and we’ve listed projects such as recessed lighting downstairs or putting pass through in the kitchen wall.  Well, let’s just say our focus has changed.  That wall has got to go, assuming an engineer confirms that it is not load bearing.  Damion is pretty confident it isn’t but we’d rather be safe than need a new roof.  So the current plan is the wall is out, more cabinets, an island and filling in part of the wall between the dining area and lower living room…..that was as of last night and I’m sure there will be several variations between now and the final result, but not much.

I’m sure some of you are also thinking that this renovation (project seems more smaller scale than what we’re doing) seems pretty extreme to jump into feet first with not much of a plan, so let us travel back to the weekend of November 4, 2005.  I came back to Illinois for my sister’s play and found Damion had done this –

Before - White space was cabinets

After

The final kitchen was wonderful.  Unfortunately we only lived in that townhouse with its wonderful kitchen for about 2 months before we moved back to IL.  This time we’ll get to spend a lot more of time with this completed kitchen, once we get there.  So join us on this fun journey and enjoy the pics.
