Downstairs comparison

I've been wanting to do a picture to picture comparison for a while now.  Keep in mind that we just moved so we still have "stuff" everywhere...
Before....

This room was the living room, initially we were going to keep it as such but then my Aunt Teresa suggested turning it into the kitchen.  So we did... 

After...

I know it doesn't look like the same room but trust me, it is.  

Before....

 This was the dining room, looking into the living room.  The hallway on the left used to go to the stairs, bathroom and downstairs bedroom.

After....

We added a wall where the hallway to the stairs was and widened the doorway to the (now) kitchen.  This room remained the dining room.  The stairs are still in the same place just around the corner to the left, we widened them significantly.

Before....

 Other side of the dining room.

After....

We removed the door, and added windows to the East instead.  Also replace the large picture window to the south (but made it even bigger).

Before...

 Pretty big changes here.  This is the old summer kitchen/entry way looking into the kitchen.  

After....

So, we removed lots of wall in this room.  Basically, we opened up the old summer kitchen and kitchen into one big room which is now the living room.  For those of you who remember the old house, the door to the basement in the above picture was around the corner by the sink in the summer kitchen.  It's still in the same place, thru the door to the right.  The area just thru the door is the new laundry room/entry way.  As I said, BIG changes in this area.

Before...

 The old kitchen looking to the north.

After...

Living room

Before...

 Old kitchen facing the south.

After...

Just a little different...  Again, it is now the living room opened up.  We obviously added the exterior door.  There's also a small closet to the right just out of the picture.

Before...

 Another picture of the hallway that led to the bathroom and downstairs bedroom.  The door on the left is the stairs.

After...

Hallway is gone.  Stairs are still around the corner on the left.  Next picture shows the hallway to the bathroom and new laundry room/entry way.

 Not sure where to begin with this picture.  Big changes in this area as well.  This is the other side of the kitchen, which used to be the living room.  There actually used to be a wall across this entire space.  As I said earlier, we widened and elongated the stairs but they are in the same place.  The hallway was created and leads to the new laundry room/entry way.  The kitchen was spread into what was the bathroom and the bathroom will be where the bedroom was.  You can see two doorways on the right of the hallway, the first one is a small broom closet and the second one is the bathroom.

This is the new laundry room/entry way, this picture was taken at the end of the hallway in the above picture.  It is all new space added on.  You can see the garage straight ahead.  This room is still a work in progress as is the bathroom off the hallway behind me.

So there it is, the downstairs before and after pictures.  Hope you could keep up.  Lots of work and we are relieved most of it is done!  Stay tuned for upstairs before and after...
