Re: My Big Fat Renovation

kitchen/great room:

Ahhhhh, the greatest pain in the ass of all!

1. Look to the right of the pic and you'll see a couple funky looking doors on the right side of the wall. Not cool. They didn't "go with" anything. Someone cut a hole into the luandry rooms wall (the area appeared as if it was originally intended to be a coat/shoe area to put your stuff when you came in from the garage, as well as a laundry room.)

2. Overview of the kitchen. I hated that white light. I even broke it not too long ago, I accidentally whacked it with the ladder, whoops See the large door on the right? There's a HUGE pantry in there... so why the fugly one in pic 1. was ever added...???? I guess they didn't want to walk 10 more feet?

3. Checkin' how level the cabinets were...and found out "not at all." Apparently the first owners of the home installed all of the hardwoods downstairs (thanks guys, seriously!) BUT they neglected to properly relevel the cabinets. The corners where the countertops met weren't flush at all, or sealed, which also cause the countertops to warp.

4. Mustard wall. That's the opening to the living room on the left.

5. Overview of the "great room." I thought the thing above the fireplace was ok at first...
