Round Rock Kitchen remodel

By struggles, member
Kitchen West view

All new doors, windows (Eagle), tile, appliances. New Affinity countertops fabricated in the garage. New custom cabinets from the workshop. Over 60 panels milled from 15/16 Red Oak. Fruitwood stain from Sherwin WIlliams, and 3 coats of poly. Multi-colored travertine backsplash as well as new and custom built trim. Removed fir downs and added pantry with indirect lighting. Removed wallpaper and popcorn ceiling, added skim coat and textured walls and ceiling. Removed wall ovens and stovetop. Replaced with new range and microwave. 2 year project done on weekends and evenings. Lesson learned: Never remodel kitchen while living in the same house.   It was very good “wood therapy”.

    I REALLY like your pantry idea with drawers between upper and lower cabinets! Very nice job and I'll heed your advice.
