A Wall is Born

The kitchen is about as sparse as it could be right about now.   Studs. Insulation. Wires.  Plywood floor.  I'd say that it has shrunk, but really, as things are removed, it becomes larger and larger.    It is a large rectangular room with a stove it in.

Everything has been removed and now we begin to add things again.   And adding things will make the space smaller.

One thing being added is a section of wall.   It is roughed in right now and that should be simple... right?     You knew it was going to happen.    We have encountered a bit of sag in our ceiling that really should be corrected because it will affect something else, which will change something else...and so on.  Correcting a sag in a ceiling is a bit more involved than correcting posture in people, for example. 

So the design process is a kind of  birthing process.  Amazing how many people are involved with bringing about the end result, in shaping the outcome, and how much fun we can have along the way.

I like fun.

  1. Love it so far. It is so much fun to see the new kitchen being "born". And you are right, as you add stuff, that huge space gets smaller and smaller. But it's all good.
