Home remodeling project: knocking down the kitchen wall. Part 1.


I had a hard time finding before pictures of this rather repressive wall. Probably because I never painted it (provided motivation to get it out as soon as possible) and therefore I avoided having it in pictures as much as possible.

Stay tuned for future progress including putting up trim, painting, building an island with a dishwasher and (much farther down the road) wood floors. Right now I'm just reveling in the wide open spaces.
