doorway to heaven

Okay, maybe that's a little exaggeration, but since Michael finished framing our new doorway, I cannot stop staring at the new view.


We moved it to the right so we'd have room to extend the run of cabinets on the left. And we went about 3 inches wider than the old doorway. I'm loving how it opens up the living room so much more the kitchen. And I'm loving how you get a view of the daybed and chandelier now. So pretty!

We're getting there, guys! Next up drywall. Then we're going to be demoing cabinets/sink/etc and ripping out the floors. Our new floors are on the way. In the meantime, we're on our way out of town, taking a much-needed long weekend break to visit my parents. Needless to say, as much as we are loving how the kitchen is taking shape, we are both ready to get away from the mess and work, work, work for a while. Happy weekend, everyone!

Casey, I recently watched Sarah's House for the first time (this cretin lives without a TV!)and I she kept using the word sight line. Now I can't get it out of my head. Sight lines ARE important, and I'd say you've got a good one here.

What a huge difference a few inches can make! Can't wait to see the next phase!
