Good Bye to 33 yrs. of my kitchen

Where our fridge, oven and microwave were.  Dropped ceiling is gone too.

Our fridge and microwave are in the living room along with the dining table and chairs.  Oven is gone

The wall our pictures were on in the dining room

I'm sad to see my old kitchen go (except for those dark cabinets, I never did like them!)  Hope the new one gets going soon!
