The door in the back is reclaimed from the wood in the old pantry.
This is a work in progress, much like the rest of my home, but that is how I like it. The picture on the right is my dream home which I found on pinterest. Until I find a wooded lot to build my own home, I will maintain as much of a nordic cottage feel as I possibly can with my choice of finishings. As you will see I have no backsplash yet or doors on half of my wall of storage. Nor have I tackled the pendant that I would like to cast in concrete and put over my sink, but I thought I would document the process here to help others with their own home renovation project. Our house is a 1920's bungalow that had a tiny kitchen and a breakfast nook. While I am sure there was a wonderful purpose for this kind of layout in the 20's; it had no place in our 21st century life. This was not our first time to contemplate taking out a wall and putting up beams. We did this in our last ranch style house and loved it. This is the same view as the one above before we took out the walls.
