Absolutely Nothing!

...remains of the old kitchen now.  Today the rest of the wall between the dining room and kitchen (save for the one post.  I told the builders my one rule is simple:  I DON'T WANT MY BEDROOM CRASHING DOWN INTO THE KITCHEN!)

And the totally useless "kitchen desk" is gone (in its place will be a new beverage/entertaining counter with a small wine fridge and ICE MAKER!  Finally, enough ice to handle all the ice tea demands of this house!) AND (because I thought this was WAY COOL!) when our electrician puts in extra outlets there (because it is, after all, the natural place to recharge phones, tablets, baby monitors, etc.) he's going to install the kind that are standard plug on one end and USB on the other!!!  Ain't technology grand?


Looking into the dining room from the kitchen.  One lone post is left (it was at the far end of the butler's pantry).  In the new kitchen, the oven, fridge and pantry cupboard will be on the left wall and there will be a wonderfully huge island in the center (pretty much directly in the front of this picture).  Sad to say (NOT!) it was the total demise of the ancient, archaic, obsolete, incredibly ugly, and perfectly annoying intercom system - now there are just ugly wall decor in the bedrooms!)







This is looking at where the kitchen desk was (with that funky corner on the right side).  The door to the deck area will be changing out (it will actually now swing out! (YAY!) and it will hinge on the right hand side).










Unfortunately (for the present time anyway) this has left a wicked corner to deal with.  I'm hoping that while we navigate the plastic screen, nobody inadvertently trips!
