<\/a>This is what the old kitchen looked like prior to remodeling the kitchen and refinishing the floors.\u00a0 Dark oak cabinets and deep yellow varnish on the red oak flooring made the area seem dreary.<\/p><\/div>\n
There was an electric cook-top on the left side of the kitchen, dishwasher and wall oven on the right side, and the overhead cabinets over the cook-top split the room and blocked light from the majority of the windows.\u00a0 And you can see the old french door but you can’t see how it was leaking and ruining the floor, and rusting because it was never painted, just installed with it’s original primed and unpainted finish.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Range is now on the right side of the kitchen, and the dishwasher is on the left side.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Our desks and the dining room table have plenty of room.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>And the birds have their cozy spot in the corner next to the pantry.<\/p><\/div>\n
Without the cooktop taking up a lot of real estate on the peninsula, there is tons of space to spread out stuff when cooking.\u00a0 And getting rid of the overhead cabinets totally transforms the room.\u00a0 The pantry cabinets to the right of the kitchen along the wall next to the living room provide ample storage.\u00a0 All in all, it’s a massive improvement and makes this part of the house really comfortable.\u00a0 It’s where we will spend the majority of our time during the day.<\/p>\n
Today the painter may come to work on the living room, in which case we’ll be moving all the stuff from that room into this one and we’ll be back to total chaos.\u00a0 He might not show up, though.\u00a0 The weather looks good and he’s doing exterior painting while it’s not raining, and interior painting when it’s too wet outside.<\/p>\n
