My medium sized square kitchen is comprised of a U-shape of cabinets and appliances, whereby I have only had 2 drawers in the 27 years we have lived here...cottage style at best, but dysfunctional at least. So over behind the door I put my pie safe with shelves for linens.. it rests there beside a flue to the furnace.. bah! But the pie safe will be coming out to make way for a floor to ceiling pantry of cabinets.... now that will solve a few issues!
On the below facing wall I had a triple sized hutch for a couple extra drawers and for storage, .. but if you have a bit of storage you apt to try to fill it up!!
Well , the hutch has been moved!
We had the electrician come out and give us an estimate and make some plans for adding receptacles for the new cabinetry that is being built for this side of the room.... the cabinet maker told us they'd call this week,,, to plan a day to come out and tear off the countertops and cut out some of the old cabinets which are going by the wayside to make way for a new arrangement , and then we are getting lovely new doors and hardware..
Well, the hutch now sits empty in the sunroom awaiting movement of other furniture out there to make way for it to establish its new home there..
Meanwhile,
the dining room table is burdened with the ton of must-haves that belong in that hutch, and yes, I have gone through it and through it and can't find anything else to take to Good will or the Discovery Shop.., Now some of this will go into the cabinets... yayayayaya! Oh, yes. there in the corner you can see the sideboard sitting cockeyed in the room, but thankfully, I am finally getting a receptacle there on the wall facing the dining table.. I am already thinking of the ambient light and music that will soon be accessible in there!
Now if you're actually reading this, you might wonder where am I going to put all the stuff in the cabinets that will be cut out... YOU got it... this all has got to find its way back into that hutch by tomorrow so this table will receive a new burden...
No body ever said transformation was easy!

Well done! It's a long road, but you're doing all the things necessary and the fun is just beginning. The reward will be a lovely new kitchen and lots of storage. I know well the look of your dining room table - we just completed a rehab of our house. Brava to you and good luck!
