Kitchen Remodel

HOME

In the summer of 2011, we pulled the trigger on our kitchen remodel. It was a long time coming and thought we'd never get started. Finally, on June 13, 2011 our kitchen was essentially sealed off from the rest of the house and preparation for demolition began.

Old Kitchen

In order to help with the remodel, Uncle Jeff drew up what our old kitchen looked like. His drawings were invaluable to the designers who don't normally have access to this kind of detail.
