Hi friends,
I hope you are enjoying the last few days of September.
I am in the middle of a kitchen remodel and here is a "BEFORE" photo to show you.
This kitchen is about sixteen years old and my clients growing family was ready for a few new changes and extra storage.
The original cabinets maybe a little dated in their appearance but are still in pretty good condition.
My customer hoped to re-cycle them for a family member's kitchen that recently sustained water damaged. The contractor was very careful in removing each cabinet and he was successful in re-using every single cabinet for a family in need, I thought it was so great that we were able to re-use the old cabinets.
Here is a photo of the re-model in progress that I shot today. The installation of the new cherry-wood custom cabinets look terrific.
What a difference a few days can make!
Did you notice? We eliminated the soffit above the old cabinet installation and extended the upper cabinets to the ceiling. We were able to add a lot of storage with this simple change.
I had the contractor remove the small island, and added a breakfast bar which made this kitchen open and much more functional.
Next on the agenda is the installation of the new granite countertops. We had a fun filled day searching for the perfect granite slabs for this new kitchen.
Here is a sneak peek photo of the granite selected for the counters and you can also see the versailles patterned tile that we ordered for the floor.
I will update this posting as more elements are completed.
Update! Granite installed

I had a little accident last week while treasure hunting at a flea market...I spied a tall metal industrial cabinet that looked like a cool piece to purchase for my shop... I thought the cabinet door above me was secure and I peeked in...I found out very quickly it wasn't secure and it slammed down and hit me in the head :( The doctor said I have a mild concussion and strained neck. I didn't know treasure hunting could be dangerous! Oh well~~~I guess I will keep a hard hat in the truck for future shopping adventures! haha
A big thank you to all my Facebook friends for your prayers and hugs to my son and husband that have been chauffeuring me around town for the last few days...
I am grateful to be on the mend!
See you soon,
