The kitchen was owned by a ‘packrat’ who grew old and was not able to take care of himself…very sad. He was a good neighbor…but not a good housekeeper. My wife and I bought the property and eventually gutted the house and returned the 1920’s Seattle bungalow to a glory it never originally knew. The kitchen now features Maple casework, Ubatuba granite counters, a breakfast counter, and ‘Vidas Grandis’ flooring.

Wow...
Wow is right! Fantastic job!
Amazing transformation. I love the updated bungalow look.
Great job! I like the proportion of the overhead cabinets - they don't look too top heavy like a lot of kitchen remodels. Maybe it's because the spacing of the stiles on the bottom cabinets is wider than the stiles on the top. Either way, very classy.
