In the process of widening the doorway between a client’s kitchen and dining room I’ve tried to take you through the process to see how it’s done:
1. Remove Trim and Drywall (this post)
2. Remove Framing & Install New (this post– BTW- This wall is NON-Load bearing)
3. Install Countertop (this post)
4. Install Lighting (this post)
5. Trim, Paint and Clean-up
In all, this project just took me three days to accomplish. However, the change is quite dramatic. Now this homeowner can include their dining room with the kitchen as entertaining space and have a beautiful new counter to serve as a buffet for those gatherings.
Again, I have to thank Chris Barber at Barber Woodworking for creating the Heart Pine Countertop that is the centerpiece of the project.
Now, let’s party!
