The remodeling process is continuing. Lowering part of the island countertop cost me one drawer. Shrinking the sink and widening the island by about 3 inches gained me these:

Four new drawers (the drawer fronts are still being manufactured), three of which now contain all my canned goods that I could never arrange efficiently in my pantry.
With the cans and the microwave moved out of the panty, I now have some breathing room. I wish I had thought to take a “before” picture, but you can try to imagine having all those cans and a microwave on one of the shelves. Here it is today:

Additionally, the new microwave is in place:

And that nice big hole where a single oven was before is now ready for a double oven. The double weighs 280 lbs., so it’s going to take more than one person to get it out of the garage and into place.
I love all the changes toward efficiency and ease of use. Cooking will be even more fun in the future. 😊
