Who needs a kitchen doorway anyway?

Part of our grand master plan involved opening the kitchen doorway as much as we could. We were met with obstacles from the very start- from the engineer saying we could only take it so far, to the contractor who is careful with his promises. We have been pleasantly surprised at how much this doorway is being opened!

Here is the kitchen doorway - on it's way to being widened.

And here it is - opened on from both sides!
