But all the green was fine because we had big plans! We started this project during our bedroom renovation... Um maybe not the best idea but we weren't doing most of the work in the bedroom anyway.
The first thing we knew we HAD to do was take down the cabinet in the middle of the room over the counter. Even with my shortness it obstructed the view!
My husband, with myself helping to hold up the cabinet, unscrewed the cabinets and with a little bit of pulling it came right down. Looks so much better already!
The next step in "Project Open the Kitchen Up" was taking down the bulk head. Now on the DIY Network's Renovation Realities it always seems like this doesn't turn out well because there happens to be something important inside. Thankfully ours was not important.
This was all my husband with me supervising. (Don't mind the cabinets we were prepping for paint. That's another post!)

| Uh Oh, where did the safety glasses go? |
We also had to move the cabinets on the left over to make room for our new larger fridge that was coming. My husband unscrewed the cabinets and counter and then screwed them back in the new position. Well not the counter because we didn't need that.
When we moved the cabinets over we had to take off the chair rail and we found this old wallpaper! Ahh more green! I can't believe this used to be up in this kitchen...
On the opposite end of opening the kitchen up we also did some work closing the kitchen up...Meaning the doorway that leads to what is now our master bathroom.
My husband and father-in-law put up some 2x4's and then drywalled it in.

So now the kitchen is opened up and closed up in all the right places.
