A new galley kitchen (my personal favorite) begins! 1920's bungalow is just wide enough to work pretty well for a galley kitchen, however it's a bit tight. I'm super excited to get the walls open this week, and confirm that we'll be able to set the lower cabinets on the left about 3" deeper into the wall, without too much extra effort, by flat framing and eliminating the drywall behind that row of cabinets, making a 21" deep counter for a little more room to move.
I'm also really impressed with the temporary kitchen in the dining room\living room that we worked with the homeowner to set up with the old cabinets. A sink would be great, but the temp set up is still better than a lot of old kitchens that I see! Kitchen remodels are definitely the most uncomfortable kind of remodels, as you lose the most important room in your house. I aim to get the project from demo to useable counters and appliances in 2 months, with it taking about another month to finish tile, painting, and the final punch list.
