Here is full view of our newly remodeled kitchen and a peak into the living area.  All new top of the line, state of the art LG stainless appliances, granite countertops, oak wood floors (they are laminate, but look and feel very real), new lighting, removed wall between the two areas, added a new pantry, new texture and paint, new glass doors for the buffet cabinets, new faucet and plumbing.  I love it, it is so open and it feels really good to look and use it knowing Edi and I and a few special people in our lives did it ourselves.  We did not use a contractor to do the remodeling.  Our new AC was purchased by us and installed by a friend and we now have a new texture guy who did a wonderful job on the ceiling.  We still have a few minor things to finish up, like the crown on the cabinets and ceilings and some trim to finish but we are taking a well deserved break and enjoying it.  Plus our lake time is upon us and that means lake trips on the weekends!
