Jim’s Kitchen Update
Being a single guy, Jim wasn’t looking for a high style or designer kitchen and because this was not a planned project, there was a limited budget. The goal of the owner was to have something nice that would last a long time, have great resale value, met his cooking needs and be very functional for occasional small group entertaining. If I recall there was some discussion about a girl friend and what would she think of the new kitchen. We arranged with local cabinet to provide high quality shop built cabinets, saved money by using laminate tops that could be easily changed in the future, and the owner supplied his own appliances. This combination met all of the design criteria and came in right on budget. We also added some very nice upper end touches such as pendant lights over the peninsula as well as under cabinet fixtures. I still wonder what the girlfriend thinks of the four racing tires that are stacked up in the dining room.
