The image on the left is how the kitchen looked when we first moved in. There were upper cabinets and a microwave that hung directly over the stove. I’m sure in the 80’s when this house was built, this was considered very chic and efficient, however it drove me nuts!  I purposely didn’t put anything in these above cabinets when we unpacked because I knew I wanted them taken down as soon as possible.  Well, finally 1 year and a half later, I finally got those darn cabinets out of my way. Good riddens cabinets… No more cabinet door hanging right in my face when I’m trying to cook, no ducking…
