We just picked up the in-wall bracket and articulating arm for the LCD tv. The in-wall bracket will create a low clearance profile and allow the TV to fit as close as possible to the wall when not pulled out for viewing.
The vapour barrier and drywall have been installed on the ceiling. The next step is to blow in some insulation to the attic.
All of the plaster, lath and insulation has been removed from the ceiling. We can see the attic from the kitchen. Needless to say, it is a bit cold in the kitchen, it is a good thing we have plastic sheets covering the entry so the rest of the house stays nice and warm. The housings for the recessed lighting have been installed. Ryan has run all of the electrical wire for the new lighting. We have decided not to keep a light fixture in the centre.
This is going to make everything easier when we create a half bathroom in the basement. This is the next project we want to complete once the kitchen is finished.
Here is how the kitchen looks with most of the last and plaster removed. The sink and counter top have since been removed.
We started officially renovating our kitchen. After being in our fist house for 5 years we (and by we, I mean my husband) have removed all of the original 1945 cabinets, lath and plaster. This is what the kitchen looked like before the chaos began.
This is the look we are going for. We ordered the Westbrook Ruxton Brown cabinets by Distinctions from Home Depot. The cabinets we purchased are 42" high so the go right to the ceiling. This will give us the additional storage space we so desperately need.
