The cabinets for this renovation were kept in place with 2 exceptions- we needed to rebuild the cabinet above the cooktop to allow for the Vent-a-Hood liner and we also needed a smaller cabinet above the fridge for the new Viking built in fridge. All the cabinets- new and existing- were enameled in place. The new dark stained oak floor makes this kitchen pop. The finishing touch is the Cambria-in-laid backsplash which matches the countertops
