While we wait for the architect and builder to complete the final plans, I took advantage of a few weekends to start some (real) demo inside. Though the design isn't finished yet, we were certain that we wouldn't be saving anything from the vintage 1966 kitchen. It's also easier to envision the new layout after the room is cleared. Here are the before and after (demo) photos. The real "after" photos are still a few months off! The tape on the floor draws the new island and the position of the new left wall.
Demo is a blast, especially since I didn't have to be too careful to preserve anything. The first few upper cabinets came out with screws and a firm tug, but by the end I was swinging the hammer and kicking in doors ninja style.
AFTER
NB: the wall on the left will be pushed back about 2 feet to widen the kitchen and allow for a 3' x 6' island, rather than the peninsula in the original layout.
