Prior kitchen orientation the sink was against wall and there were no cabinets along two of the walls including the one with a window. One wall was almost completely removed already when this shot was taken.
Prior kitchen....
Current kitchen after rest of wall between dining room and kitchen and wall between kitchen and living room gone. Pat and friend, Denny, put up the support beam to replace supporting wall. And they did it for $400 compared to the Property Brothers $2500, and the latter screwed up their calculations so had to add steel jacks to help support the ceiling! So I was impressed. But now the gas, water, electric have all been rearranged as needed and we're set up for the main sink being under the window and prep sink in the island when it is built. VERY EXCITING!!!! We'd be a lot closer now if I hadn't broke 2 teeth, abscessed tooth and root canal, 2 crowns.... bummer. But we're going to restart here real soon. He's currently rearranging and organizing the wood shop in the garage which should help projects tremendously and then we start again!
Current Kitchen....
Future kitchen....
Have to see if this passes the muster now with Joe!
Did Pat get the vent fixed behind the stove?
ReplyDeleteAlso - I considered the wall oven, but I omitted it in the final plans. A) It needed 220, and B) it needed another vent. Instead I went with a 36" stove, and that tall cabinet became a pantry cabinet. Later, I learned that the cabinet surrounding the wall oven tends to degrade from heat and/or moisture escaping and they don't tend to be well insulated because more insulation=less inside space.
Color scheme - love it!
Ahh. Your future kitchen looks amazing! This perfectly matched your ranch style house. The countertop matches the total look of the kitchen.
