Kitchen Renovation

Project: Renovating kitchen of 1950s Old English ranch style home.

Kitchen's footprint will be expanded to incorporate adjacent breakfast and dining rooms. Present living room will become new dining room to accommodate a 96"-long table. Present family room will suffice for all salon duties.

Short term goal is to step-by-step remove and replace all existing kitchen cabinets and appliances. Some new appliances will first be placed where existing ones reside, awaiting preparation of their final position.

June/27/2010: End of Week 1

Accomplished this week:
-Removed old oven cabinet and furdown. As a temporary measure, drywalled adjacent rangetop cabinet's now-opened furdown. Will later remove and reposition rangetop and its cabinet to a different wall. All furdowns will be eliminated.

-Set in place new Ikea Akurum/Rationell High Cabinet for Double Oven + Drawer and 2 Doors. Cabinet was temporarily positioned where old oven was, and will be reinstalled in ultimate
location when other cabinets are later removed.


















-Installed 30" Viking Professional Series 30" Dual Thermal/Convection Electric Double Oven:
