Kevin has sanded and painted all the old cabinets and is now working on stripping the old hinges. We replaced the outer hardware/handles, but newer hinges have a different curve than older ones, so we need to stick with the original ones. We've taken down the cabinets we plan to replace, and now we need to prep the walls a bit before we paint them, as you can see from the photos. Kevin also needs to seal up the old vent (aka, the hole in the wall) and install some new outlets to power up the new vent, the stove and microwave. (My role in all of this: lovely assistant and doer of all other household chores.) Hopefully, we'll get enough prep done tomorrow so we can paint on Sunday. Wish us luck!

Are you going to build a box soffit above the new corner cabinets ~ making them exposed tops ~ or installing cabinets that extend up to the ceiling?
You guys are home improvement gurus..... Keep up the good work and thanks for keeping us all involved.
Actually neither. The cabinets are open above them, and we need that space for storing oversized items. It would look nice to have a soffit box like the one over the original bank of cabinets, but our kitchen is too small to sacrifice that storage space above the new ones.
Looks like you have got a good start. Keep us posted. I am anxious to see the new color for the walls.
