This first one is where we took on the heater (nearer side) and the pantry (far side). Where the concrete is visible is where those things where. This area will be under a portion of the island/pennisula. In the middle there, you can see the pipe for gas. We have to move that into the wall.
This next one is of the window. We're going to remove the little window completely (there will be a corner cabinet there). The big window will be replaced with a smaller one (42 x 42 inches). You can see the tape marking where it will go. The remaining space on that wall will be mostly covered by the corner cabinet, and another smaller one over the dishwasher.
This picture shows where the island is going to go. The little "L" that you see is where the bar is going to be. It's not a bar per se, but rather the same level as the counter top, just hanging over so that we can sit at it (to use it for our family meals).We also had a drywall guy come through today with a winner price, so we should be set for that before too long.
Next we're going to be buying the lights and planning the electrical work while the ceiling and window walls are framed (by the drywall guy). Then I do the electrical, then the drywall and window. Then the cabinets!

huge projects!
where are you storing all your food in the mean time? garage?
amazing that the kids don't trip on the gas pipe etc....
when do you think you will be done?
thanks for the pix.
love you guys
We never stored very much food in the pantry, but we did use the space. So we bought a fairly big moveable cabinent that is just around the corner in the living room that we put a lot of stuff in. We're planning on putting that in the garage when we get done with the kitchen.
We're hoping to finish up before we come out there, but who knows. The cabinets get here on Feb. 7.
