Looking at the Kitchen

Plan to remove odd door from the dining room into the kitchen

Small "L" of the kitchen is workable and includes nice built in hutch

Bay window to the west offers lots of daylight.


"L" shaped kitchen.  Lower cabinets--the left one is full depth.  
Whereas, the other lower cabinet is shallow with inside shelves for spices, and still makes room for a dishwasher.  Full lower cabinet under kitchen sink.  Far right is refrigerator space.

Across from Kitchen sink are lower cabinets/drawers either side of stove.

The stove is old, and the cabinets are 38" deep and choke out a lot of the kitchen floor space.  

The remedy is to cut down cabinet depth to standard of 25".  Remove old stove and exhaust.   Install new stove, new exhaust hood, new kitchen countertops.  Floor tiles are in good shape.  

Odd open concept wall for a Victorian.  The stairway wall/railing is open from the dining room.

Odd Angle Passage Door from Kitchen to the Dining Room
Better flow without the door

This wall separates kitchen from hall and stairway going to lower lever. 
I understand the concept of opening the wall to add light, but the wire mesh is scary looking.
I wonder, what are the options?

So glad the original woodwork remains.
