SHOW AND TELL TAKE TWO!

Rewind....back in 1962 this was a stylish family room/kitchen.....in 2010, not so much. After a couple of years, blood, sweat and tears, removing walls, etc. we have almost finished this part of the house. We still need to paint some trim, add some art work, etc. But the big projects are done!


Before:

We removed the wall between the kitchen and living room, gutted both rooms and replaced the 6' slider with 10 feet of french doors.

Kitchen in progress, before the floors, faucet and fridge.

We also demo'd the rocks on the fireplace and removed the 15" bench!

Time for the floors! It was messy, but worth it! We used natural maple wood flooring, with dark hickory borders,which separates the Italian marble in the kitchen and entryway.

Now:

All that's left to do in the kitchen is to add the kick plates to the bottom of the cabinets!

Now...we must finish the rest of the house....ugghhh!

Dark espresso stain on the french doors, ties together the dark hickory borders.
