Kitchen before pics

 
 
 


Before pictures of our kitchen. We're pretty sure this was redone in 1953 according to city records. New flooring went in before we bought the house (found evidence in the basement of an order from early 2005). The oven is from the late 1940s according the little old man who fixed it after we moved in. Cabinets are painted metal with latches - i can imagine nothing every falling out of them in an earthquake!

Almost done in this pic. I'll have to snap a new picture with the faucet and towel/tp holders in. Unfortunately the pedestal part broke for them while installing the faucet, so it's not 100% yet. Waiting on that part to arrive.

Sink room finished


The room on the right that housed the sink is now pantry, storing most of the kitchen which has been ripped out. Limestone tile and same paint as the bathroom next door.

Remodling phase 2

So we're starting on the main level of the house now. Here are the "BEFORE" pics.

This lovely "sink room" has a door leading to the basement in it.



Some attractive pink and blue linoleum.



The other room next door has the toilet. Yes, sink in one room, toilet in the other. Gross!


The French wall paper is cute, but red with the pink and blue?? I added an ugly table to bring yet another unmatching color in here. Also, I had no where else to put it :)
