Our kitchen project has come a long ways since the purchase of this house.  When we first saw the house the first thing we noticed was the lack of a kitchen, or even a designated place for one.  The listing had designated one of the bedrooms as a kitchen, just to put dimensions on the page.  Here are a couple pictures of the kitchen area in the very beginning:

 

The kitchen is now located in the back of the house.  The previous renovators had installed a toilet in the corner with 2×2 walls surrounding it.  We tore out the walls and toilet and started fresh.  In the past year, the majority of our work has been in the kitchen.  There is still a lot of work to be done, but here are a couple of pictures of the current state:

 

Here is a general overview of what has been done in the kitchen so far:

• Foundation leveled with new supports added to the old
• Plumbing throughout
• Electrical throughout
• Heating ducts added
• New subfloor laid
• New window (Crestline brand from Menards)
• Exterior door was moved
• Insulation in all exterior walls
• New drywall throughout
• Ceiling torn down and raised
• New ceiling tiles installed (Silencio by BP)
• Painted (Summer Fun Blue by DutchBoy)
• Cabinets installed (Unfinished Oak from Menards)
• Cabinets Primed and Painted (Ultra White Cabinet and Trim by DutchBoy)
