So I quit my job and I'm taking the summer off. But fear not, I won't be lazy all summer long. I intend to gut and remodel my kitchen/mud room and build a deck/french doors. I'll be logging my progress here.
No, I don't know how to do all the projects that I'll be attempting, but I hope to learn as I go. It's all a matter of confidence; if I think that I can do it, then I probably can.
The house is a 1916 craftsman in South Seattle. Two bedroom, 900 sq ft. It's tiny and cute and we love the floorplan, except for the kitchen which we've always hated.
Kitchen Problems:
Not enough counter space for multiple prep cooks
UGLY linoleum flooring
UGLY cabinets and countertop
Single pane windows which do not open and lose winter heat
Poor lighting (single fixture in the middle with some undercabinet lighting we added)
When we have dinner guests, the only place for them to stand is directly in front of the fridge or the silverware drawer. Both of which are extremely inconvenient when trying to prepare food.
A mudroom which is just a place to fill up with junk
A rear door which opens directly into our hot tub - very difficult to get through with a basket of laundry
No pantry, not enough cabinet space for dishes, pots, pans, food, appliances
