IMAGES OF A GRUELING KITCHEN RENNOVATION

Sorry, girls ~ unfortunately, there are no photos here of sweaty, gorgeous 25-35ish year old guys doing construction work, but I promise I will work on THAT. But here ARE a few snapshots of my pretty new kitchen.

I hope you like it.

Old wiring (early 1950s) against a very beat up 50 year old wall.

"During"

The rest of the upper cabinets, crown molding, hardware, countertops, built-in microwave, counter tops, backsplash, decorative lighting, etc., etc. to follow. Flooring is covered with brown paper and masonite in this photo.

The fridge is not white, it's shrink wrapped with white plastic. I just want it to be finished.

You made it look simple, which I know was not. I was in Bend 2 weeks ago. I've been working for company there for 20 yrs. Pozzi Windows which now under Jeld-Wen. I usually visit 3 to 4 times a years on business. I just recently moved to NJ/shoreline from California. So you see my pictures are from all over, I travel to states here NY,NJ,Pa,Ct and Boston monthly. My camera usually rights shot gun and photograph whatever I can. Living in Bend, is a less expensive than here. Town has really changed in the last 10 yrs and housing has too! ($$$). Well, keep in touch and thanks for the nice comments..Chuck

Willa I am a professional remodeler and do this to other people for a living. (yes, my name has been said in vain more than once). Actually, we do nice work, but it is always grueling. Cheers. You deserve some of that wine hanging on the wall. If it's any consolation, my wife and I have been remodeling a 50 yr old home for the last four years and still have our final piece de resistance to go: the kitchen, of course. Cheers, Andy www.wrightbuilt.biz

Enjoyed these pictures, Willa! The hard work of renovation is always worth it in the long run - especially if the end result is as cosy and inviting as your kitchen! I can empathize with you, though - we did our kitchen a while ago and it was hell! It's still not finished...but that's another story!! Well done, again!

How well I remember this saga. LOL. Now, it was worth it, wasn't it? It's just beautiful. Neat photographic diary of a very grueling time. :)
