13 years ago
We moved into a home built in 1956. Great bones, but desperately needed renovations. Kitchen just completed and couldn't be happier!

    Great job! Your cabinets look amazing. I love the colors that you picked. Nice call on adding the Skylight. The natural light really lets the beauty of your new kitchen shine.

    How long did the remodel take? I'm currently looking to purchase a home soon and all of the homes I see seem to need a redo. It sounds like its worth the trouble in the end.

    @ kwhite, our project took about 4-5 months to complete. A solid 4 with taking out a fireplace, raising the pitch, etc and all those fun details.

    Kristy, we bumped our interior wall 4 ft and took out the old 50's laundry space and that added 10 ft to the space in length which is now a small office/desk space for me or the kids to do their homework and I can see what they're doing ;-) I believe the original space was 9ft of flooring between the two sides of counters. Hope that helps

    Was thinking about putting shaker cabinets in my 1953 home but I might have to go with slab doors. Comments? Color ideas?
  • 12 years ago
    well, I'm not a designer but my first line of thought would be to ask yourself if you want to preserve the 50's look or not and what style the rest of your house reflects. light and bright (but white is high maintenance) or dark.
  • 12 years ago
    Wow!
  • 12 years ago
    I like the sky light but that is all. Way too many steps in the new kitchen! I prefer the old.
  • 12 years ago
    love it!
  • 12 years ago
    Can we get a better view of that wooden table? I love it!
  • 12 years ago
    It's gorgeous!
  • 12 years ago
    What type of floors did you use?
  • 12 years ago
    Holy Moly! Very striking change, gorgeous. I love the ceiling and skylights, otherwise the dark materials would have been too much. Love the look, but would have to decide between the black floor and my light grey cat! Cat wins (of course). Enjoy your beautiful space!

    That is awesome! Now just put a beautiful potted orchid on the island for a pop of color. Great job!
  • 12 years ago
    Love the contrast between the island and the rest of the cabinets. This is a job really well done.

    @ allyso, good 'ol porcelain. We looked at Slate, but didn't care for the feel and too much maintenance.
