Weston's Handiwork

Weston, aka plumber, electrician, and carpenter, has out done himself on this project. I couldn't be more pleased. We worked together on the tiling, but besides that, this is all Weston. Thanks Honey!

Here is the old kitchen.


This is front room.



Drum roll please....

Notice that the doorway between the front room and kitchen is now double wide.


Notice that the far kitchen wall is now gone.


The only thing that we didn't replace in this kitchen is the sink. Besides that, it is all new and we somehow managed that for a very decent price. I love the hickory and how all the tile came together, which was a real blessing since we got all the counter and back splash tile for $30 at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore.


I do miss the old shelves and fancy wood work by the window. They reminded me of my Grandma's house. We had originally planned on putting new hickory shelves in, in the same fashion - but time is short and projects are many, so that little sub project got cut. Oh well. It still looks nice, if not quite as quaint.


We tiled the counter top. I like how it turned out.

Weston built this banister.


A view into the front room, which has also received a face lift since we moved in.


Well, if any friends and family out there want to see it first hand, be sure that fresh home cookin' will come with it.


Once again, the old kitchen....



And the new.....

I was so excited when I saw the first picture on this post.... sweet... more re-designs from an incredibly talented couple!!

You two should really consider a side business of re-modeling homes. I know that a lot more people want to do that now instead of buying a new home. Plus, some really need updates in order to sell their homes.

I am just STUNNED, completed stunned at the beautiful work you both do.

I can't wait for more... please tell me there are more to come!!

I could think of a couple different businesses you guys could start - tiling, cabinetry, installations, and of course just plain remodeling. Great job!
