downstairs kitchen coming to life

I had my sheet rock guy come over this weekend to get started.  He took
out the wall between the den and the new downstairs kitchen, and then
built a new wall separating the new kitchen space and the old storage

room. Sheet rock is hung, and I hear him mudding it as I'm typing this.

Busy Weekend

One of the great things about blogger is that you can email posts

straight to your blog. This was an email that Poppy sent out describing the weekend developments of the
weekend. Now Poppy can just email updates directly to their new blog!

Well, we didn't know we were going to tear off the deck this weekend
until last night. It went well, no one was injured. Now it's ready for the
contractor.

Downstairs Kitchen

The downstairs family room was separated from the storage room by a

wall and a door on either end of the room. Randy, a friend and
employee of Poppy's, constructed a new wall that splits the storage
room right in half. Randy also took down most of the wall separating
the current family room and the new kitchen. This kitchen
renovation is currently under progress!

Kitchen drawings & Pictures

After meeting with several local contractors, Roo and Poppy decided to

sign a contract with Dwight Killmon from West Georgia Design Build

(678) 386-9893. Here is the grand design for the new kitchen. It

includes an addition where the current back deck stands. Also, the

current wall between the kitchen and living room will no longer exist.

It's going to be one huge room! Plenty of space for all of us!

Dwight offered to make a temporary kitchen downstairs for the

renovation project, and Roo and Poppy decided that it would be better

suited as a permanent kitchen. It will be in a great location for the

pool and it will make the downstairs almost like an apartment. (They

just need a full bath, and we'll be able to move back in! Just

kidding!)

What do you think about the design?
