kitchen 2

Ahh, the kitchen ... I can't wait until this room is done so I can start cooking myself good, wholesome, healthy meals ... or something like that :-)

The first photo was taken from the doorway between the kitchen and the dining room and facing the doorway to the "extended kitchen" as I like to call it. The second photo is from the same doorway but looking pretty much straight ahead at one of the few remaining pieces of cabinetry (a HUGE lazy susan).

Keen observers might be thinking that the third photo looks like a vent of some kind and if you look in the previous picture, you can see the old range's vent hood hanging off of the wall. The remaining vent will be sealed on the outside and there will be cabinets blocking it from view from the inside.

The last photo is of the corner above the old lazy susan. It was, at one time, a chimney for an old coal stove. Since I've decided to NOT put a coal stove back in (I know, I know ... while it would've been cool to be the only one I know with a coal stove, I had to pass) and I really wanted to move the two radiator pipes (that no one knew where there until demolition uncovered them boxed in what was thought to be a box solely for en electrical outlet), we removed enough of the brick to square that corner as though there was never a chimney there at all.
