Kitchen Makeover Part 1

The kitchen is the heart of our home. We cook a lot at home, so we spend a lot of time in this part of the house. It was logical that this would be the first place we focus our attention on to make it as close to our "dream kitchen" as we can afford.

The existing kitchen seemed to be the original kitchen. 1968. 46 years old. While it was certainly usable and adequate, we took the plunge and tore it out the day after getting the keys.

The biggest visual change will be the removal of the cabinets over the peninsula. We'll have a ceiling-mounted range hood, but the lack of cabinets and soffit there will really open up the space and make it more connected to the family room. So I can watch college football while making the chicken wings!
