Kitchen Renovation

Dobie

We bought a house a year ago in a great established neighborhood. Minutes from the beach, great shopping and restaurants close by. 
The house is a 93 build and was a second home for an older couple that lived out of state for the last decade or so. They lived in it less than 50 days over their ownership. They did the big things like new roof, replumbed and replaced AC, that’s the upside. The downside was it was still 1993 inside. Appliances like the refrigerator and stove were replaced but with the cheapest you can probably find. We bought knowing the kitchen and bathrooms would be remodeled. Here are pics of the before. Wallpaper, laminate counter surfaces, small outdated cabinets, leaking plumbing and well you can see below. 
The remodel was a complete gut job, new everything. Cabinets are all wood (no particle board, engineered wood etc) with full extension drawers, dovetailed joints, double roll out shelves in the lowers with soft close hinges and shelf hardware. We went with a 36 inch induction cooktop over a built in oven for a clean custom look and no counter surface breaks. Refrigerator cabinet give it a hint of built in look without the expense. Under cabinet lighting, lighting in the uppers and in the ceiling all dimable. We think it came out pretty good and the wife got to pick out exactly what she wanted.

“Minutes from the beach.”

So do you send me your address now, or shall I wait until I receive the formal invitation by mail? 

Not that its it’s related to your post or anything, but I’m a kickass houseguest. Just sayin’ is all.

I like it! However, you could of kept it "as is" if they ever wanted to a Ferris Bueller remake that would be a perfect set.

Beautiful kitchen.  Wife wants me to replace all the oak doors & drawers on ours with maple.  We built our custom home in 2004, when oak was popular.  Now everything is white or very dark (Alder-Cherry-Maple) finishes.  

So so I know what I will be doing this spring!

@thetrim it’s a big upgrade, we’re enjoying it.

@caliking it’s a galley style kitchen so it’s not huge but the extra cabinets help with storage.
If I could build a kitchen to my specs it would be larger but this works. The main floor plan for the house is open and it’s not common for this area in homes of this era.

@littlerascal56 I had honey oak cabinets in the last house we built in 97 so I know what you’re saying there. Quality cabinets are rediculously priced IMO so if you can reface or refinish you will likely save some money.

Hello. Can anyone recommend a trustworthy person or interior design-architect company (not too expensive) that can completely renovate and modernize my kitchen? Thanks.
