The not so great Divide

The next project was to remove the L shaped too high divide between the kitchen and the front room. We decided that we want the room to fit the way our family lives. So one big Family room and Kitchen area means tearing down this annoying divide. 

The phone jack on the wall ends up being behind todays modern size refrigerators. That will be coming out!

 

In this picture you can see into the front room and out the french doors into the back yard.

Yes this lovely countertop design is continued on the full wall backsplash in the background. That Garden window is staying put however. That ceiling fan will be moved to the front room.

Jeff gives a final heave with the prying bar to the countertop!

Good Riddance!

 WIth the divide gone, the room is much more open.
The door in the background with the glass panes goes to the rest of the house, allowing the kitchen and front room to be closed off from the rest of the house.
