Little Brick Cottage: Kitchen Updates

 **Please Note** The little brick cottage renovation project took place and was originally posted here in 2012! It was my first project I posted on as well. Scroll to the bottom of this post to see posts on this entire project.

Yesterday I told you that we now have the bathroom sheet-rocked at the little brick cottage. Well, that’s not all we have sheet-rocked…

The kitchen was so ripped up and patched with junky paneling, that we decided

 to tear it all out, insulate the exterior wall and sheetrock the entire kitchen, including the walls, ceiling and even the little back entry.

This picture, above, was taken before we also removed that short wall of beadboard to patch it in the dining room. What I’m saying is, this kitchen actually looked even worse than it does in this picture before we sheetrocked!

As you see here, yes, the taping and mudding has begun.

I think in the bathroom, kitchen and two entries I’ll be installing a beadboard 5’ high. This “Little Brick Cottage” is actually a Victorian Farmhouse style, so a 5’ beadboard would be very appropriate for that era. Then that way the original 3’ high beadboard in the dining room will be its own special entity.

The next update on the little brick cottage will show you something we did, but weren’t planning on doing…
