After 13 years of deciding whether or not to move, whether or not to renovate, whether or not to swap the kitchen with the dining room space, whether or not to dig down and build a family room and office, we finally came to a decision.
Working with The Andrews Architects, we spent a year figuring out how to use our space more effectively, and deciding out what we needed to update, change, and modernize.
On our list was:
1. New bathrooms (boys, ensuite)
2. New kitchen (new everything!)
3. Closets built in our loft bedroom
4. Refitted deck and better drainage
5. New fireplace and hearth
6. More efficient heating system, and one that would free up venting space
Here is the 1994 kitchen been pulled apart. I was not sad to see the forest green laminate counters being taken out.
In the above picture there is a drop ceiling; this was done to provide venting for the hood fan, running across the length of the kitchen. The contractors raised the ceiling so that it will be the same as the rest of the main floor.
Why the accent tiles? I just never understood that concept.
The kitchen is gone!
Here is the drop ceiling, obscuring the skylights along the side wall. Pure laziness in design!!
