A work in progress.

So, if you saw our post about our new house, you'll remember that our new kitchen is quite small.  Also, if you know us very well, you know that we really enjoy cooking and entertaining.  Therefore, we decided to make our first project a full renovation of the kitchen to make it a more open space for us.

Because we had such a long weekend, we decided to just get started!  Our first step is to remove the wall between the kitchen and dining room.

Here's the before picture ...

The room is quite small as it is, but it has yet to have any appliances, so it'd be very hard to move around with more than one person in the kitchen. 

DAY 1

Dan decided to get a start on removing the cabinets last night, however we had to stop after he removed the top cabinets because the countertop was too heavy for the two of us. 

DAY 2

Today my dad and brother were out and helped to take down the rest of the kitchen cabinets and get the room down to a nearly bare wall.

Here's the whole process...

And the before and after.

As you can see, Dan LOVES having his own house to demolish...until next time.
