Stuff We're Doing

Ok, so, as you guys know we're in the midst of a pretty extensive bath and kitchen redo, with the bath leading the way and affecting the kitchen. 

So... 

The bathroom has a holey floor, which has absolutely no insulation in it. We'll be fixing that. The washer/dryer closet is framed in and the bath tub is up in the room. And after all the consideration of barn doors, pocket doors, and so on the carpenter thinks he can take one of the doors from the attic and extend the door header so that the washer/dryer closet has double doors. Anyway, we had a big, lengthy series of discussions about how it's all going to shake out, such aswhere the vanity and toilet and lights go. 

We're also going to add hall lights, so that this area won't be so ridiculously dark. 

the kitchen ceiling, which when put back will not be dropped but will have a bulkhead running above cabinets and appliances on both sides (which is the only good way to get the vent above the stove legal). Removed skirting above the cabinets that are staying. What I think we're doing is doing a beadboard wainscoting, reusing and mostly leaving alone the sink side of cabinets, and using the short wall on the opposite side for the stove, fridge, and either an espresso machine bar with some open storage or a set of display cabinets.
