First, demo. Here is the kitchen before. To the left of the stove, there is a redundant closet/pantry. To the left of that pantry, there is another pantry. There is also ANOTHER pantry to the left of the refrigerator. So basically step one was to remove two of the three pantries in favor of more cabinets and counter space.
Before:
And after:
I know it looks like we've created less counter and fewer cabinets by doing this, but don't you fret. We have plans!
We scooted the fridge over into the space where pantry #3 used to be. Since it's recessed into the wall, the fridge sits back quite a bit and is very unobtrusive now. It's a counter-depth fridge anyway, so it was already not very obtrusive.
Here is how the room looks with the new layout. Ahhh, breathing room! We purchased a few cabinets on craigslist because we found some that were a match to the existing ones--lucky! I dragged one into place to show how the layout will look down the line.
Please excuse the dust. Renovation :) I have a lot of cabinets to build.
