And then the Kitchen

Since we were doing one, why not the other.

After the bathroom was completed, we took to tackling our kitchen. I don't have any "before" pictures, but here's the setting. We had a full kitchen with a "U" shaped counter in the middle of the room. There were two sets of slidding glass doors on each side of the U. There was also a full bathroom off the kitchen. Why one would need a shower off the kitchen, I'm not too sure. there was also a side laundry area in the kitchen.

So, the bathroom was supposed to be a 3-5 week project, and it took 9 weeks. The kitchen, which was done by a different firm, was a 10-week project, and took six.

First, we removed the bathroom and took the room down to the studs. We also removed the sliding glass doors, and the bay window.







In it's place, we created a new cooking/appliances area, added sliding french doors and a smaller window.
