My wife and I completely remodeled our entire kitchen. We took out the soffit to make the small space feel larger. We also moved a wall to create a pantry that used previously wasted space. I built all of the cherry cabinets myself with dovetailed drawers and soft-close hardware. We also did all of the work ourselves, including but not limited to plumbing, electrical, tiling, cutting and installing the granite, and installing a gas line. It was a fun project but took longer than anticipated (as always!).
