The kitchen was closed in with only one small entryway that led into the dining room. It was okay but I wanted it to be opened up more; making it look spacious and being able to see into the living room while I was in the kitchen. When I was in the kitchen cooking I couldn't see what the kids were doing. So we came up with some ideas of what would work best and my husband drew an idea on a piece of paper. His father offered to help and we are so appreciative of that. The men worked hard for two consecutive days and then my husband put some finishing touches to it on the third day. I'm so happy with how it turned out.
Here is a before and after picture:
Doesn't it look so much better? They expanded the doorway and then added a window on the other side. Eventually we will add a slab of countertop to the window. The second picture was taken right after they finished so please excuse the mess inside the kitchen. It is now clean and everything has been put back into place. What a difference!
I already have a color picked out for the walls.
Actually, the sample I took from the store was a little darker than what is shown here. It will add a little pop to the tan color we have in our dining room/living room area. It's called Cedar Chest C28-6 at Lowe's.
My husband and I are still deciding on which flooring and countertop to get but we seem to have the same idea on what we are looking for. The cabinets will be painting a creamy/off white color.
Oh my, I'm getting excited just writing about it!
