With Mom's ok, we decided we'd use the afternoon hours of Christmas Day to do that.
We emptied out the hanging cabinets, unscrewed them and down they came. Amazing!! It did just what we hoped it would. Just a small, no cost job made such a difference! Our kitchen and dining area now feel like one large space rather than two small cramped spaces. We love it!!
Prepping the cabinets for removal.
The cork board that has been on the back for almost 40 years is scraped off.
Cabinets down, time to remove the one on the wall which will be replaced by swinging around onto the wall the ones we already removed.
Removing the soffit. I'm do thankful Curtis knows how to do this stuff, and then repair it to look finished.
Mom smiling in the background. Her comment, 'Why didn't we do this years ago?'
The newly repaired soffit and moved cabinets and open countertop. So much space!!
A look at our new, open kitchen concept.
Eventually we will get all new cabinets but this small thing has made such a huge difference. I love my kitchen now!
Good things:
A handy man hubby with skillz!
Light flowing into both kitchen and dining area
