Home Improvements: Kitchen Remodel

One of the things we knew we wanted to do sooner, rather than later, was to update the kitchen in our new-to-us place.

So after mostly settling in and living in the house for several months, we embarked upon the design portion of our Kitchen Remodel last September (2022).

This project would require us to move out for a few months because we were also planning to replace all of the flooring.

What was two different Vinyl floors that were two different colors and textures, as well as two different heights, along with some carpet, is now a Hickory Plank floor, throughout.

A long-term dream has finally been achieved, and I love it so much!

The construction portion of the project began in January (2023) and we got the house back at the end of March (2023).  We are taking a slow and deliberate approach to moving back in.

At this point, a couple of weeks later, most of the shelf liners have been placed and many of the necessary items have been located, unpacked, and organized.  So for Easter Dinner, we had our first proper meal in our freshly remodeled home.

The footprint of the kitchen is the same, but the flow between the sink, refrigerator, and stove is improved and the storage has been maximized.

The Bay Window now feels like part of the kitchen, rather than a separate room.  I love the new window bench, which will be getting a custom cushion to make it more comfortable for sitting.

We also have storage in the Laundry Room now... and revisions were made to improve the venting of the Dryer and shore up the Floor.

There are still a few things outstanding, including the range, as well as a bunch of punch list items.  Fortunately, we heeded warnings and kept our old appliances.

Once we're feeling settled again, we'll embark upon the next project. :-)

Happy Spring Everyone!
