Didn't lift a finger to make it happen, and it feels so good.
Before:
Took out the wall between the kitchen and dining room, removed the pantry, moved the fridge, and converted the existing footprint to a breakfast bar layout:
A few odds and ends to tie up, but largely finished. Bottom cabinets are getting a grayish navy blue paint job, which will hopefully happen during our vacation next month. The removed wall was load bearing; they managed to tuck the supporting structures into the walls and ceiling without a trace. Pretty impressive.
The devil made me do it the first time, second time I done it on my own - W
