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.
