Kitchen Renovation is Happening!

We moved into our beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home in Westchester on Valentines Day last year. We were lucky that our previous owners took a good care of the house and we have had only few minor maintenance issues so far. When we bought the house we knew we wanted to renovate the kitchen, but we decided to live with the current one for a little while and see what we like and dislike about it.

Almost, two years later (and many hours planning and researching) we have finally decided what we want our kitchen to look like. This is the current layout:

There are many issues with this layout, but the worst of all is the lack of counter space. While this configuration and counter space may work just fine for a family where only one person cooks, in our case, my husband and I love cooking together. Currently when we try to cook together we are literary on top of each other! Therefore, we have decided to reconfigure the layout, move appliances, and get an island. We will also be removing the wall between the kitchen and living room to open up the floor plan.

The renovation is supposed to take 5-6 weeks, and while I am sure there will be bumps in the process, I'm hoping to finish this quickly and start enjoying a new kitchen!

Update: We finished the kitchen renovation and we are incredibly happy with the result. Read more here.
