The latest finished kitchen. Cherry cabinets with a clear lacquer, pantry with pull outs and a blind corner unit. I was able to reuse her countertops since they were in great shape and utilize her undermount sink which she already had instead of paying big bucks for a new one. This was a fun install. One wall was concrete and the other was metal studs. Oh well, they turned out great and the customer was very happy. I also included pic of the cabinets before.

This is a vast improvement in the looks of the kitchen. Putting the before shot in here is a good idea that shows how much the room has been transformed. The door style and hardware look good and taking the upper cabinets to the ceiling was a good idea. This gives more storage room and eliminates the inevitable dust collection.

Nice job.

Very, very nice. I really like the pantry. Great lighting. I like the glass fronts. Looks like you able to increase storage as well. Good job!!!!!! Dramatic improvement!

FYI – I was able to get a 16g undermount double bowl stainless steel sink with drain hardware, sink grids & mini strainer basket from Galaxy Tool Supply for $180 + free shipping. Their prices & quality are better than sinks I’ve seen at 2-3x the price. They also list their sinks on E-bay as a “But it Now, or “Make Offer” listing. I made an offer & got it for the $180. It lists on their web site at $220, still a great price.

Thanks for the comments. I should have clarified it before. It’s not the sink that would have cost alot more, it’s new countertops with an undermount sink. When someone wants laminate countertops with an undermount sink around here they can easily add on $1000 to the price of the countertops. Most of that is just for the corian ring. I also had to take the uppers to the ceiling in the kitchen because the ceiling was only 84” in there. It would have looked really funny if I didn’t.
