Moving from the living room to the dining room:
From the photos below, you will see that swapped the kitchen/dining room locations. Our new kitchen is now where the dining room used to be and our dining room is where the kitchen had been.
What we did in the kitchen:
-Completely tore out the original cabinets and flooring.
-Moved the arched opening to the other side of the room.
-New tile flooring the dining room.
-Added all new cabinets (which we assembled ourselves)
-Added solid walnut counter tops and painstakingly applied coats of epoxy and polyurethane to the surface.
-Refinished the original hardwood floors.
-Tiled and grouted the backsplash with penny tiles.
-Added a pantry.
-And, let not forget to mention that Josh made a special trip to Seattle to get me the apron front sink from IKEA.
I love that sink and IKEA Portland no longer had it in stock as they were discontinuing the current version.
During the remodel.
Here's a cute video of Paxton showing you "How to" remove wall tile.
Again, we used the old wood from the living room wall to build the open shelving in the kitchen and in my pantry.
I love my open shelves and the penny round tiles. Although, the tiles are a little tricky to hang. I did most of the tiling and grout in the kitchen myself.
The original cabinets were in really bad shape.
We pushed the dining room area out and closed-in part of the original covered porch.
