Pre-demo, pre-tornado, we started with this. Cabinets that are soft from years of moisture. Stove with 2 working burners. Three layers of kitchen floor (parquet over tile over wood). Several layers of wall. Windows that don't quite separate the inside from the outside. More on the interesting things we found in the walls soon. For now, let's focus on the starting point:
Back wall: Sink will move under this window, dishwasher to the right. Ceilings throughout will go up a foot (pending structural engineer and plumbers signing off on that plan).
Wall to the right: Stove will move between these two existing windows, with a wall-mounted hood over the stove. The windows themselves will be closed off - the weird placing otherwise blocks off a lot of upper cabinet storage space.
Looking toward the dining room, this doorway will be widened quite a bit, to about 5 feet. No more wall cabinets here.
On the other side of the room, the fridge will move to the space where the sink and dishwasher are currently. The wall here will mostly go away. The white wall in the background will be extended so the current pantry/creepy hall is walled off to a separate laundry room.
Let's go!
