Introduction:
Our old cabinets were falling apart and our sun room was separated from the kitchen with a sliding glass door. Our main wish was to open up the room so we had more space and could see our wonderful backyard. Finished in the fall of 2009.

Kitchen Highlights:

• Cherry cabinets
• Harvest Cream granite
