Kitchen renovation - before photos

As I type this, we have just finished with week 3 of our kitchen renovation.  It's a complete gut - all new cabinets, floors, lighting, appliances, and we've moved a wall back and closed a window.  After months of interviewing contractors, pouring over Pinterest and Houzz, and countless hours spent talking about options, we finally hired Moss Building and Design, and got started.

Our house is a 1960s split foyer, and in 1985 the former owners did a major addition all along the back of the house - kitchen, breakfast room, and sunroom.  And then they hadn't made any updates to it since.  We knew when we moved in that it was going to be a major reno, and probably the first big project we did.  So...here are the before photos!

    That is so exciting! Kitchen renovations give you the chance to dictate the mood of the room. It can also help you get in the mood of cooking and preparing dishes for you family. I’m looking forward to seeing the "after" pics, as well as the sumptuous meals that you’ll prepare in here. Good luck, Lindsey!

    Your kitchen looks fantastic! We have been planning on renovating our kitchen as well. Our first step will be putting in new cabinets. I hope that it turns out as well as yours in the end. http://hollywoodbathrooms.com.au

    I can’t wait to see how everything will turn out. These pre-renovation photos are nice, but I bet you had wonderful ideas in mind to make it look better. Good luck with the rest of the revamp, and thanks for keeping us posted. Good day!
