A little demo is good for you.

GARAGE BEFORE

GARAGE AFTER
Still a work in progress. The wall on the right side will come out entirely to increase the floorspace. There’s about 5′ more behind this wall that was used as a storage room. (Also pictured are the new toilets and refrigerator to go in after the new flooring is installed!)

BEFORE
Notice the desk on the left of the photo.

AFTER
If budgets weren’t a thing, we’d probably remove the upper cabinets here and open the kitchen up into the living room more. But, alas, budgets are a real thing. We’ll put a cart/island here that can be moved out for more work space when needed.

Remember that cabinet in the “master” bath?

After much head scratching, maneuvering, choice words and re-evaluation, we determined that this little bastard was assembled in place. It could not be removed in one piece. Doug tackled deconstruction and we managed not to bust the mirrored door in the shower.

And really, who doesn’t love a mirrored, sliding door in a bathroom the size of a postage stamp? Oh, and the door to the bathroom opened into the room. DOH! We’re going to re-hang it so it opens out.
