This week we started Phase 2 of the Bolhmann Kitchen Remodel. After a few weeks of sifting through designs, we came up with a great solution to Matt and Maile's needs. As you can see in the plan, we eliminated the door to the basement via the kitchen, and will move it into the hallway. Also, we'll be opening up the hallway space by removing a 100-year-old defunct chimney, replacing it with a 14" Solatube for natural light.

As it stands now, the basement door is gone, the new opening is created, and the solatube is shining a glimmering light of hope through a hole in the attic, that one day soon, their new kitchen will be complete.
