After emptying them all out (and piling everything in the dining room!), we decided that there are a few cabinets we'd like to keep and reuse...
The big wall cabinet will be great for in the new laundry room, so we carefully removed those.
They were HEAVY!!!
The peninsula bottom cabinet we separated and are having the workers put out in the garage... we'll use that for storage or something out there (I have a few ideas flipping around in my head!)
The other portion of bottom cabinets wasn't any good for future use, so our oldest was delighted to try his hand at demo!
Behind where the shelves were hanging, you can see several layers paint on top of wallpaper.
So the bigger cabinets are now all out of there! We're still able to use the stove, fridge, sink & dishwasher, for the time being. I've moved the microwave & coffee maker into the dining room- so it's a little annoying going back & forth while I make the kids' breakfasts & lunches each morning, but at least we have access to everything! I remember washing dishes in the upstairs bathtub when we did the kitchen at our old house, and thankfully we aren't having to do that (yet!)
I'm also happy that the original base moulding was hidden behind the cabinets. My fingers are crossed that it continues all the way around the room! This will be the dining room when everything is complete.
