Written by Terry on July 8, 2007 – 1:45 am -DaliDog asked: I built a new kitchen entryway and remodeled the kitchen. Besides the structural improvements, top of the line Conestoga solid Lyptus wood doors and drawer fronts were designed and ordered on-line. These are 5 piece mitered cabinet doors and drawer fronts that originally came unfinished.

Also note new locally produced peninsula cabinet addition with hidden appliance hoist, recycling... more

My husband and I started this project in March of 2008 and just finished it at the end of May. We did all the work ourselves and saved a lot of money, I did the electrical, plumbing, flooring and tiling and my husband designed and made the cabinets, installed the solid surface countertops and sink put in the crown molding, etc.... and we did the rest together. I also put new flooring in the rest of the house except the bedrooms and we painted and put crown molding througout.

Next we will tackle the bathroom....stay tuned. Read More →
