Kitchen view

When we decided to redo the kitchen, I wanted a more open living space.  The wall separating the kitchen from the living room need to be expanded.

Here is the view from the front door looking into the living room (2011).  The kitchen is through the archway.

Here is the view now from the front door.  No more built-in bookcase.

The kitchen isn't separated from the living room.  It feels more cohesive, and brighter.  It is exactly what this house needed to modernize it.

I have worked on the pantry doors, but need to repaint them.  More on that next week.
