Pantry in the hallway. The pantry space had been added in the past, but the doorway was only 11 inches wide! We are opening the wall and changing the layout of the space to be much more effective.
Me scraping wallpaper glue off the walls. We discovered after removing the first cabinet that the gray paint on the walls was actually covering a layer of wallpaper below. We're taking that all off, patching rough spots in the plaster, and will then prep the walls for paint in a few days.
Bottom cabinets totally removed! There are some fairly large gaps in where the subfloor doesn't meet the walls, so we will be filling all of those spaces in. Hopefully we'll fix that mouse problem once and for all! (wishful thinking, I know!)
Our new kitchen in the back of the car. I actually had to remove about 6 boxes to be able to take this picture. All of the kitchen cabinets, light fixtures, drawer pulls, faucet, even the kitchen sink are inside!
A little backwards, but this is our kitchen floor during demo. The white with black was peel and stick vinyl tiles, on top of a cardboard layer, on top of those lovely red and brown clay tiles. You're seeing the tar residue on top of the subfloor, which was all that was left from the tiles.
As promised, here is the before picture of our kitchen (which is really a "during" picture, as the stove and fridge are out of the room, and the floor has been torn up.

This looks like so much work, but so much fun! You guys are way to productive!
Oh my gosh, you have made so much progress!! Don't know how you do it. The new floor looks great! Can't wait to see the finished product. Good thing Ashley lives 5 doors down.
