What a mess!! This week the contractor took out all the old cabinets and the wall between the kitchen and dining room. Time to start over! They also assembled all the Ikea cabinets. Ikea is well built, but you have to assemble them yourselves. If you don't have experience, then be sure to get a contractor to do that. The price for an Ikea kitchen is very reasonable, but you have to allow for assembly in your budget.
Here's the wall where the frig goes...note the new dedicated elec box for the frig on the left (no more hanging cord!)....
....the new half wall between the kitchen and dining room.
....the frames for the dining room cabinets in front of the wall. These cabinets will be a bank of drawers in a beautiful brown-black finish on horizontal oak. They relate well to the new bathroom cabinet just around the corner. In the back of this photo you can see the new black frig peaking out from under a canvas drop-cloth.
From inside the kitchen - the view out to the living/dining area.
Inside the kitchen....the center cabinet is for the oven, the 2 side cabinets will be doors and drawers in high gloss RED....Stay tuned for the progress....hopefully we will make new strides this week, and have more to show next week!
Big job -- but you can do it!
