The kitchen remodeling has begun. I think it is going surprisingly well. Not having a kitchen is a great excuse to invite yourself over for dinner to friends' and families'.
Where there was once a pointless wet bar...
...now there is not. So to take its place...Not an island, but a peninsula :)
We also took out the walk-in pantry to make the kitchen bigger against the advice of our realtor. We'll see I guess.
We had been in Austin for all the business and when we got back it looked like the above. AM keeps say "Where'd the kitchen go?"
