Updates - Kitchen

We started with this. Cabinets that literally were designed NOT to open and very old appliances in need of repair

Some early replacements - windows first

We decided to get rid of a couple of the windows that were in really bad shape. The window in the kitchen was actually broken (the top pane only). Jack hated his bathroom window that wasn't really stained glass, but close. And my window in the small bath leaked pretty badly.

small bath window

large bath window - no more stained glass!

kitchen window - not broken anymore!

Demolition has started!

This is the closet in the sunroom, we're removing to add more space - we have plenty of closets, and to help expose the brick wall

This is the doorway to the sunroom with basically the original outside door doorframe, with door still inset. This will be removed and the molding readded once the brick is exposed

The old passthrough between the kitchen and sunroom now that the window is taken out!

The old kitchen  and countertops, looking towards the sunroom

Track lighting...no...original kitchen cabinets and wallpaper
