Kitchen

The kitchen changed D.R.A.M.A.T.I.C.A.L.L.Y!  We basically gutted and started over in there.


Here is a summary of the changes:
-bricked in 2 windows to add more cabinets
-all new cabinets
-destroyed (is destroy too strong a word?) the 2 ft x 2 ft pantry and created a walk-in pantry
-refinished the original 1926 butler's pantry
-new countertops/backsplash
-we kept the same appliances
-tore down wall between kitchen and dining rom

Exterior of the house

We were not originally going to paint the exterior, but we changed our minds on this one.  I'm so glad we did because it makes the upstairs "fit better." We also started over on all of our landscaping, rebuilding the pergola on the side patio, and redoing the concrete overlay (since we had to dig into the original concrete to add piers under the house).
