KITCHEN

Taken in 1981, the first photo shows a dark paneled, closed in view of the kitchen from the breakfast room.
The second photo was taken at time of recent purchase. It shows how we'd opened it up a bit to include the breakfast room with the original renovation, painted the cabinets and put a creamy wallpaper on accent walls to blend with the cabinets. The darker blue wall paper was added but we will remove. We also changed the hinged door in left photo to two louvered doors which leads to the foyer.
The last photo shows that it's still a work-in-progress but we've dramatically opened the kitchen to the living area and exterior view. Notice that the oven has been moved next to the fridge to give unbroken counter space which will be trimmed with a wrap around bar counter.

The back (or living room) side of the kitchen wall before deconstruction. There's nothing to be done about the center post holding up the ceiling.

Same area, now open to the world!
