House News

this is our first fixer-upper as married folks. We'll see if we're still married once it's finished. I'm a bit of a city girl and my husband is quite comfortable wielding a cordless skill saw. Wish us luck (we're definately going to need it...)!

Here's what the pantry used to look like...

The winter storm that we got delivered about 6 inches of snow to our neighborhood and created a snow day from work.






Here is the pantry space...you might remember pictures of it from a LONG time ago...




This is the door and the skeleton key that used to lead to the "Silence of the Lambs" basement. Now? Not so horrible. This door is only 6 ft tall.








Here are the new cabinets for our pantry.
This is what the kitchen used to look like. The strange little room past that big post (which is actually an oil fireplace chimney) is where the dining room used to be.




I had the flu the day nate knocked this chimney out. He was pounding it with a sledge hammer and I slept through it! I guess we're used to the sounds of the re-model now...



Here's what it looks like with the chimney gone.
