Kitchen Cabinet - before and in progress

In the existing kitchen, there was a built-in cabinet (pictured below). Because this was my great grandmas, I wanted to find a way to keep it . The first thought was to move it downstairs and incorporate it into a future kitchen remodel.


The very top few feet of the cabinet (shown below) would have to be removed, because the kitchen and dining room downstairs have ceilings that are a good 2 ft shorter than upstairs.

When the cabinet was removed in 2 pieces, it became apparent that the only way to get this thing downstairs would be to take it apart into more pieces or send it off the back porch (like was done with the blue bathroom furniture). Neither of these seemed like good options. So we decided to find a home for it upstairs in the reading room. Basically it will be on the same wall as it was previously just on the other side.



Right now both pieces are in the kids' bedroom and will need to be put together in the reading room.

Below is what it looked like in the kitchen after this was taken out. The first shot is the floor and the second is of the wall. As shown in the bathroom/laundry room pics - this is where a toilet, bathtub and linen closet will go.

Steve is giving me a hard time about the amount of blogging I have done today. What better way to celebrate your anniversary, right?
