planning and dreaming
Well, it turns out I don't need to worry about that wall in the living room. We're going to knock a hole through it anyway. I made some sketches.
This first view is from the kitchen, through the soon-to-be hole-in-the-wall, to the couch and window in the living room. New cabinets, countertop (I think we are doubling our current amount of countertop, at least!), new cork floors...
And next in full color! Except not really, because I only had a box of 16 crayons. Ok, this one needs some more explaining. The top half is the outside (west-facing) wall of our kitchen, that has an exterior window. The bottom half, below the squiggly line, is the wall shared with the garage (north-facing)...the door in the sketch leads to the garage.
Except that when we are through, instead of the garage, it will lead to a BRAND NEW LAUNDRY ROOM.
Currently, my laundry room looks like this:
So that will be a pretty big improvement, huh? We're still deciding on details and we haven't hired a contractor yet, but we are planning to get moving on this pretty quickly. I'm never going to want to leave our house after this!
