DEMO: Kitchen that will become our Dining Room

Rhys and Bobby totally dominated the kitchen demolition. It was impressive!  They turned our 1950s kitchen into studs and boards in one morning.  Once they finished, Andrew worked his tail off scraping up our flooring. What a transformation!

We are opening up the entrance to this space.  Instead of a pocket door, we will have an open floor plan between the Living Room and Dining area.  I don't think we want to make an archway, per say, but there will be something to define the two spaces.

DEMO: Opening up the Stairway

Since Mike and Ben have taken over the demo, things have really been moving fast.  They've done a lot more work on the interior of the house and we can really see the progress.  They opened up the stairwell, which totally made my day.  I love having the wall down and stairs exposed, instead of hidden behind a door.

BEFORE

BEFORE: The stairwell was hidden behind what looked like a closet door.

AFTER: Open and bright!

I had to add this picture below to the montage.

Such a wonderful change!
