Kitchen remodel

Kitchen remodel of 1924 home

We were able to preserve and reuse the original Douglas Fir flooring.
The one island that you can see and the countertop on the other side of the stove is also made from some of the original Douglas Fir flooring.
This was a complete gut and install project.
You can see the remnants of what used to be a wall with a swing door just behind the chandelier.
The swing door was utilized on the other side of the refrigerator, where we built a pantry.
There used to be a window, where the back door is located.
We had to cut through 8 inches of solid concrete to open up the lower portion of the exterior wall in order to install that door.

And here's a picture of the swing door doorway.
The big room that you are looking into was the original dining room....
I really miss that big dining space.
But, it's a small house....I couldn't have it all.

If you look through the swing door opening you can see a white framed doorway...that's where the original bathroom was.
And the small yellow room that is also over there, was the teeny, tiny...no countertop kitchen.

Below, I am standing in that bathroom doorway to get a picture of the kitchen. 
The table that is next to the refrigerator was my countertop.
The refrigerator is in front of the window that was converted into the back door, as explained above.
