Teenage 70’s Remodel ONE ROOM CHALLENGE – WEEK TWO

Well, hello Everyone. Here we are at WEEK TWO.

BEFORE: Funky Old Kitchen

The room my daughter is moving into is now a very dated kitchen on our second floor. Not our main kitchen. The room has clearly been neglected for a long time. We just never knew where to start or what to do with this room so it has sat barely used for over 15 years in our 1906 house. At some point the house was turned into a duplex and with this kitchen and we are slowly rebuilding it back to a single family house..

The appliances have been hauled out and removed. The corner above is where the fridge was.

And the wall below is where the stove was. Yes, big, gaping holes!

And demolition of the funky cabinetry has begun. What is behind all of this is very pieced together walls and no clean lines or edges. Old wallpaper that had been painted over had to be scraped and then mudded.

Straight lines are being created and lots of patching and mudding is taking place.

So we are in a demo stage for sure.

Decisions had to be made about whether we wanted to keep the built ins at all but the woodwork is pretty darn shoddy so we are going to scrap it all in fabric or more space!
