eWoodShop - Kitchen 2 Refresh 2015

Quite a transformation. Love the range hood. Brilliant work, as has come to be expected. :-)

Nice! Feel free to swing by and get me un-stalled on my shaker door project!

Nice, Nice, Mighty Nice. Beautiful work.

Yeah, me too. Took Carlos and I the better part of two days to get that thing installed. But it went a long way to giving an old kitchen a modern, updated look.

Thanks, Mike!

LOL. Thanks.

Buy'em books, send them school, and whaddya get? ;)

Thanks.

Nice!!!!!!!

Looks great! I especially like the windows over the sink. Not sure what was there before.

Thanks, geoff...

Thanks.

The windows were there all along. Simply accenting them slightly with the granite and back splash material made them a noticeable "feature".

A remarkable improvement and a job well done, as usual!

As always, really nice work, Karl. Who did the redesign work on the kitche n? I know it was a lot (say compared to a gutted room), but the small chan ges made a dramatic new look to really update the appearance and functiona lity. Good stuff, especially that new hood.

But... no new doors or fronts for the cabs? Seems like that would have bee n a must if they had gone that far with stainless hoods, granite tops, new appliances, etc. Just wondering...

I think the doors and drawers are new. Same color but different rails and stiles on both.

Thanks, Robert.

All new doors and drawer fronts.

I insisted on it, and had to make some concessions in order to make that happen. What I didn't do was apply the finish, The husband is highly allergic, only water based finishes could be used, with NO spraying, and no hint of odor was allowed, none, nada, ... all brush work, with as much done off-site as possible.

Client had her own painter who had worked for her previously.

That was biggest concern about half way through. All the good sound work, re-purposing, and added structural integrity was for naught if it was still going to look like s*it at the end. Amazing what a little cajoling and supervising can do. Worth the effort in the end, but made me damned tired in the process.

And Robert, he was not allowed in to the garage... ;~)

Amelia Earhardt and Jimmi Hoffa may finally be found in that garage ... didn't want to take the chance.
