Fixing Some Framing

There were a few places that the framers had done their work, but needed some tweaking... minor stuff really.

First there was the Butler's Pantry doorway.  The plans called for the cabinets to be stretched along just the back wall.  But then we decided that the antique cabinetry would fit in the U-shape.  This meant the doorway needed to be centered.

Next there was the coat closet/refrigerator recessed area.  The framers had made the coat closet deeper, and didn't leave space for the refrigerator to be recessed (which would mean it stuck out into the kitchen further than we'd like).

After testing that we'd have enough room to hang coats, they fixed that right up...

The only problem is that now I can't fit my wash baskets through the old basement doorway!  

I can not wait until the laundry room is functioning upstairs!
