Kitchen Ooh La La!
Experts say that the kitchen is the heart of the home and also on the top of the list for potential home buyers.  Do you have a kitchen that has seen better days.  This kitchen had great bones, it just needed a little love and care.  We upgraded the laminate to a beautiful and very functional solid surface countertop.  A bookshelf and turned legs were added to the island along with a striking red paint finish to give it the look of a seperate piece of furniture. 
 
The biggest change was the paint and glaze finish added to the cabinetry.  We also opened up the cabinets seperating the breakfast room from the kitchen by adding glass to the doors.  A beautiful pendant light fixture replaced the outdated flouresent fixture along with new paint, accessories and window treatments that gave this space a finished and definately updated French countrly style.
 
If your kitchen is tired.  You may not need a whole new kitchen.   For less than half the cost of a complete remodel this kitchen was given a new life!
