The kitchen and dining room required the most work in the house. We actually took out a wall between the two rooms to open them up, and give me more cabinet and counter top space. Before, we had a round table that would sit in the kitchen between the stove and sink for dishes/eating/cooking, because there was such little counter top space. Removing the wall took out the only closet in the house for the vaccum, but it was so worth it for all the cabinet space gained. We ended up sitting around the counter top a lot, and it made the house feel much more open.
