My wonderful husband has given me a dream kitchen. I loved the old one, but the new one is far more user friendly. I now have double ovens, a 5-burner gas stove-top, an instant hot-water unit for tea whenever I want and instantly, and pull-out drawers for the pantry, pots & pans, spices, and lazy susans for those dark, hidden corners.
The photo at the top is the new kitchen, photo below old kitchen. You can see how much more space I have now. Our contractor, Danni, is a gourmet cook so understands what we need. And, Danni did most of the work herself. She's amazing.
For Thanksgiving dinner I had no problems shuffling dishes around in a single oven. It was fabulous!


Yes, the space has been the story of this remodeling process. It seems as if the whole kitchen was renovated, and the result is a dramatically improved cooking area! In fact, it seems like a whole other kitchen altogether! It's perfect for parties and group dinners!

My, my, that's a vast improvement! I can see that the colorful tiles at the back have been replaced too (no, you can't hide those tiles there!).

fantastic kitchen! What a pleasure it must be to work in. I would love a new one too, does Danni do commissions in Australia, lol!
