Progress!

Here's the living room looking from the windows toward the kitchen. You can see the 24 inches we've walled in on the right side of the pass through. That gives us both extra storage, a safer place to put the microwave and the bonus is that we will put a small table in front of the wall there to the right so we have a little dining nook.

This picture shows the kitchen from just on the other side of the pass through. You can sort of see our new refrigerator there. It's a countertop depth fridge and while we gave up a small amount of storage in the fridge and freezer, it wasn't much. Getting more visual room in the kitchen was more important to us.




This picture sort of shows you what the granite, wall color and cabinets will look like together. The previous granite was black which didn't work well in a dim cave like ours. Plus no matter how much we holler, the boy kitties will get on the counter and black granite showed everything.



Here's the new stove (not pushed back all the way--the electrician comes tomorrow along with the tile guy who has a little more work to do, too).

You are looking at our new closet in our bedroom. It's got three sliding doors on it which will be painted (go, go Kent!). Having three doors should help us get into the closet pretty easily. The other door you see on the left is half of the door from our bedroom into the bathroom. Everything is pretty tight in the bathroom and our friend Peter (who is an incredible interior designer) suggested we use split doors so we never have the full width of a door getting in the way.
