Kitchen Remodel
Up until this point, the kitchen has been the only room that we have not started tearing down walls in. Thats about to change. Our original design for our house showed a sliding door from the kitchen to the courtyard as well as one from the master bedroom to the courtyard. Knowing that putting a 8′ wide door in our kitchen right where our sink was would cost some money, we initially decided to wait until later to tackle that project. Luckily, on a last minute whim, I decided to order the kitchen slider when I ordered the rest of the windows. This essentially forces us to do a complete kitchen remodel. Saturday I ripped out the sink and about 8′ of cabinetry that was where the slider would be. I even managed to get our sink and dishwasher plumbed in its new location. The wall you see in the picture above will basically become one huge window, and all our cabinetry will flip to the opposite walls. Now all we have to do is put in new flooring, all new cabinets and appliances, move light switches and outlets, patch drywall and paint. Sounds easy enough.
The old cabinetry plumbed temporarily until we can get new flooring, cabinetry etc.

The snowball effect is powerful and difficult to resist. Good thing you guys like “camping”.
It’s gonna be gorgeous when it’s done.
Have your neighbors started getting jealous yet?
I think our neighbors willjust be glad when we are done.
what do you plan to do for finish carpentry and interior doors in your addition (and your house remodel)?
and why the frosted glass above the kitchen sink?
The doors will be sliders, on barn door type track, and the finish work will be all birch. Details to follow.
The window is frosted (with clear drawer liner) because our neighbors house is about 8′ from the window, and our window looks right into their girls window. She used to just sit there and watch us eat dinner . . . Spookey.
[...] Three weeks ago we started ripping our kitchen apart in preparation for putting in our sliding glass door. Two weeks ago we had a huge hole cut in the wall, and our last door installed. Last week we received a big shipment from Ikea, and this weekend I finally had time to put some of it in the kitchen. We didn’t want to order too much from Ikea, since they will be opening soon here in Utah, but we also were going crazy with our kitchen half ripped apart. I had thought about building some cabinets, but in lieu of time we just ordered them from Ikea. We ended up getting the SORBO doors, and I really like the look of them. [...]
