Before new kitchen cabinets

Our tract house was built in 1991 and had never been updated.  EVERYTHING was original.

We wanted to change all the old stuff with the exception of the floor plan.   Our biggest challenge was the kitchen.  Not only were the cabinets horrible but the layout didn’t work for us.

My husband is a really good cook and has lots of kitchen gadgets and appliances.  Our old kitchen was small and we lacked storage cabinets and counter space.

Our custom cabinet designer had an easy solution and now we LOVE our new kitchen.

Full extension pull out shelves

Inside of the 3 pantry cabinets we added a total of 15 full extension rolling shelves.  Our pantry cabinet use to be a cave and we never knew what was in there.  Our new rolling shelves give us full access to the very back and now we can easily see what we have.

We are so much more organized, because we can see what we have we no longer buy duplicates of things.

My husband and I have stopped asking each other “where’s the ….”.

We also added a double stack lazy Susan; a flip down tray at our sink cabinet; a cookie sheet/baking pan cabinet; a trash and recycling center and my husband’s 2nd favorite – a spice drawer.

Window seat and bar

The addition of a window seat gives us additional full extension drawers for our less used items and additional seating.

Add the soft close hinges and drawer glides and our new custom kitchen is exactly what we dreamed about and never thought we could have.  Our friends and family think our new kitchen is great.

We enjoy entertaining and now we have a custom kitchen designed for our wants and needs .

We knew we wanted to add display, storage and some kind of bar area to our dining room but again we were limited on space.  Our designer suggested that we take advantage of the high ceiling and frame the window with cabinets. We now have room for our wine, glasses and our new wine fridge.  The window seat cabinet with the full extension glides gives us more extra storage.   It’s a great addition to that room.  Since it’s visible from the front door it creates a great impression when guests come in.

Yes, the remodel was a lot of work, especially since we did a great deal of the work ourselves to save money.  The cabinet installation process was painless and the custom cabinets tied all of our decorating decisions together.  The installation crews did a great job.  They were very polite; friendly and respectful of our home.  They also did a great job cleaning up after themselves.  It’s obvious that they enjoy their job and are proud of their work.  All of our other trades (granite, flooring, etc.) raved about our cabinets and have told some of their customers about Woodwork Creations.  Today we enjoy our home so much that for the first time we took a vacation and stayed home!!
