This makeover makes me want to take a sledgehammer to my house so bad, and I don’t even have any wackadoo blue walls begging to be demolished. I mean, look at at that thing! What was its purpose in life? To block the unattractive kitchen with its heightened powers of extra-unattractiveness? To terrorize the citizens of this home and their chi with terrible feng shui?
But soon a new sheriff moved to town, and her name was Tyrell. Tyrell had set her sights on that wall since day one, and finally pulled the trigger, leaving in her wake a demolished peninsula, pantry, soffit, and the remains of her low hanging cabinets as well.
Then she restored order and harmony to the space with a beautiful open-layout that literally gleams. She even hung her star on the wall so no one ever forgets who’s boss around these parts. See more on her blog A Touch of Tyrell.

May 19, 2012 at 4:58 AMThat looks a ton better! Just a word of warning for anyone thinking of smashing out walls, DO get an structural engineer to look-see. Often those walls that look dicky are actually load bearing. Meaning they hold your roof cavity up! Without it, in a few years, ker-splat! Very much worth the bucks to ensure you get a terrific look like Tyrell’s!
