Everything Plus The Kitchen Sink

We spoke a little bit about white washed cabinets earlier and how to revamp them without breaking the bank.  We decided on reconfiguring and painting.  We are taking out doors to make room for open shelving and we are taking out the limestone counter tops. Limestone is beautiful, but not ideal for a kitchen because it is very porous and this one was not well maintained.

We are also taking out the sink in the center island and making it one large working and serving space and putting in a farm house sink in front of the window over looking the backyard because... well... I've always wanted a farm house sink.
Farm house sinks come in a variety of materials.  They are porcelain, fire clay, copper, stainless steel etc... but the most original for the time period of a 1920's house is fire clay and we found a great one on eBay for $380.00 plus shipping.  It was much less than retail and got to us within a week.

Must admit, seeing the demolition made me a little nervous.  It was like "OH NO... no way back now"

The adventure continues and yes that's part of our counter out in the courtyard... yikes.
