Gibson kitchen remodel…coming down the home stretch.

Entry #38, March 11, 2010

On Christmas Eve, 2009, my husband, three kids, and I moved from a 3600 sq. ft. house to a 2000 sq. ft. house in hopes to live near better schools, work, and capitalize on spending more time with the family.  We found a charming 1987 house that has great potential, but an AWFUL kitchen!  Most people would take a few months to unpack, then start renovating.  Nope! Not the Gibson’s! One week later, the remodel began:

Original 1987 kitchen… yes, the paint is a color that reminds you of an upset stomach!
  • Refaced cabinets
  • Installed granite counter tops
  • Replaced sink and fixtures
  • Tile backsplash put in
  • New refrigerator, dishwasher, stove
  • Under counter lighting installed
  • Recessed lighting in ceiling
  • Dining Room light fixture replaced

10 weeks later, we can say we’re finished! Window treatments will come later.
