Making quick work of the old kitchen

This kitchen needs opened up to the rest of the house.  Here is the view from dining room to kitchen. 

This weekend Nate started to take out kitchen cabinets.  Once he got going, however, there was no stopping him! 

Before I quite realized what was happening, the wall was coming down!

Quick work!

Here is the new view from the dining room into the kitchen!  I'm enjoying the openness already!

Our new home projects begin!

We have quite a few projects to undertake before we move in!   We will be patching and painting everything, but the big main project before moving in is the kitchen.  Here is the original view from the dining room into the kitchen. 

The existing kitchen is a galley kitchen, extremely narrow and squishy!

This would never do for Nate, who loves to cook and needs all the space he can get!  Besides, we want our kitchen to feel connected to the rest of the living area. 

Our work is cut out for us!
