We debated about whether or not to tear out the kitchen.  We’d probably be moved in if we hadn’t torn it out.

I can’t help but think we made the right choice, even though this is arguably the most work we’ve done in one room yet.

Behold, the wall transformation:

Burn damage

That’s brick-patterned wallpaper.  Complete with soot from some past toaster fire or something.

Cabinets out, one last look at the weird cubby hole in the wall

I’m loving the red walls, complemented by a tasty brown.

This kitchen is going to be awesome.
