Unfortunately, I was never able to take official before pictures of our nonfunctional box they called a kitchen, but here are some pics from our insurance inventory to give you an idea.
We opened up the wall where the TV was to make room for a breakfast bar, moving the refrigerator to the opposite wall. Then extended cabinets into the dining room to create more storage space and bring the two separate spaces together. We mounted our new TV (happy father's day Jeff) above the fireplace and added a new love seat to our living room furniture. The old lighting that looked like it belonged in a classroom was replaced with recessed lighting. The box for the old light in the dropped ceiling was dropped a half a foot, made into an octagon and finished with crown molding (I cannot think of how to accurately describe this, but it looks beautiful).
We could not be happier with the result, it is a completely different house from when we moved in just over a year ago. I cannot believe this all started with a wet spot I noticed on the sidewalk outside the kitchen. It has been a long and stressful six months that will be over today when our hardware is installed.
