The Kitchen
We started the demo in the kitchen this weekend. The cabinets that were in there were.....smelly!!!! Oh My!
We knew this was an addition to the house, but we are still trying to decide when the addition was added. When we removed the cabinets we got a huge clue. The family name was written on the back of the cabinets. I remember seeing this name when we did some research on the previous owners. I think the cabinets were custom made for them. I believe the cabinets we removed were not the original. I did find one layer of wallpaper under the existing wallpaper that looked about 1950's??? I have included a few pictures so you guys can keep up...

Demo
We stared demo-ing the wall that the kitchen shares with the dining room. We figured this was an exterior wall at one time....and as we started pulling plaster off we discovered.... The old clapboard siding!

As we kept taking off plaster we discovered there was a set of windows behind the wall. The actual windows were removed along with the frames but the holes were still there!

We are planning on removing this wall to make the kitchen a bit bigger.....stay tuned! |
