Can you imagine having the most used area in your home under construction and in semi working order for almost seven months? A couple of years ago my wife and I spent almost 30 weeks, mostly weekends, remodeling our kitchen while trying to keep our family functioning at a half way normal pace.
We had decided rather than replacing the builder’s grade cabinets we would add decorative trim and refinish them using an antiquing process that we had seen elsewhere in the past. Having the tools and knowledge, along with a very talented and creative wife, we established our design and went forward.
