The Kitchen!

So we removed the old siding and framing for the windows, and look....it is going to be a much larger kitchen! I still haven't figured out what the layout of the kitchen will be (if you have any ideas let me know)! You can see from the pictures that it opens up the kitchen quite a bit.

On a side note, when we removed the plaster wall in the dining room we also had to take of the old wainscoting that encircled the room. This stuff is the real deal! It is all like 1" thick and has a lot of coats of paint. Needless to say we will be re- purposing it somewhere else in the house. I LOVE it!!!

 On another side note, as we took the old clapboard siding off we thought it was interesting how they put the house together. Under the clapboard were these diagonally cut 1"thick (like really 1" thick boards....not like todays lumber) Of course I tole my husband to save these in case I want to make some funiture out of them! They are Awesome!
