I mention some time back, that our kitchen is a galley style and we have a desire to one day remodel. While there are numerous things we love about the kitchen (window over the sink, large windows by the dining table, character, etc) we really don’t like how it feels small. Last night we decided to start tearing down part of the wall between the kitchen and living room. We’ve still got a ways to go and have hit a few snags already – such as having to re-route our furnace vent. Plus, if you follow me on facebook or twitter (which you totally should, btw) then you’ll know I’ve been in an on going battle with the wallpaper in the kitchen. I figured I’d show you how things are coming along:

This is the view from the living room. Once the wall is gone, you will be able to see straight from the front door, through the kitchen and out the back windows. Beautiful!

The girls did not seem the least bit phased by all the banging and trash. They just cheerfully ate their popsicles.

The other day, Hannah ate 3 popsicles in about 2 hours. She loves them. Here she is in all her popsicle glory:

I’ll be sure to post pictures once the remodel is all said and done!
