Kitchen Plans

After our last update you now know that we are working on the kitchen. This is a huge project to tackle, so having a plan is really important. We finally made a few important decisions and came up with this plan.

To save money we have decided to use the existing cabinets and rearrange a few to better fit our needs. I have been slowly stripping off layers of paint from all doors, drawers and cabinets.

To add more storage and counter space we found unfinished oak cabinets (which match our cabinets) at home depot for next to nothing. We bought a pantry cabinet, a base cabinet and an upper cabinet to add to the mix.

After a lot of thought and a lot of changes we came up with is kitchen configuration:
Removing the built-in pantry and replacing it with the three new cabinets will add storage, counter space and really open up the kitchen.


Removing the upper cabinets and the over the range microwave will make this space feel more open while maintaining its functionality.

Adding cabinets and counter space to this area will finally bring functionality to a space that currently has none.

 Here is the whole kitchen layout put together, which really makes me want to get this project finished ASAP.
