Before After 1935 Kit Home Kitchen Remodel RTA Cabinets
Comments (36)Michey312, sorry for the rude comments, they are no help at all. I think you did a fabulous job. I too was beaten up by this forum when we did our own plumbing for a bathroom remodel. It was mid pandemic and the "pros" were just not available. Well it's been over three years and the bathroom plumbing is working just fine. We fixed issues with previous plumbing that was done 30 years ago by a licenced plumber as well as the required modifications for the new fixtures. We installed new lighting, tile, toilet, vanity and soaking tub. Granted we decided not to change the layout to simplify the plumbing and electrical, but in the end we were very pleased with our handy work. I am in the middle of working a quote for Conestoga cabinets for a new kitchen (new construction). I like the inset cabinets and want to use the extended leg (face frame) option. How did you decide where to place the extended legs? It is clear that they would not be appropriate on all of the cabinets in my design. Also on your island (which I love), it looks like the extended leg is wider than the extended legs in your other base cabinets. Can you confirm? was that an option? It looks like you might have used a panel on the side of your island. How much did the trim details extend the size of your island? Hopefully you are still monitoring Houzz. Thanks in advance for any information you are willing to share. Again, great job!...See MoreBefore and after - exterior lake house

Comments (0)A previous owner had removed the front porch and built a small mudroom on the front of the house. There was a 'flat' quality to the house with little dimension. I really liked the functionality of the mudroom but missed having a porch to sit on. I was scared adding a half porch might look disjointed, but my contractor did a great job blending the facade.Before: https://photos.app.goo.gl/fjg9uRiBj9pPBWn76 After:https://photos.app.goo.gl/uGySzqk6XqXMi3wQ8...See More1920 house: Before and After kitchen - long!

Comments (27)thanks everyone! I love and appreciate all your feedback. I learned so much from Houzzers over the years, and it felt vulnerable to post my own project but wanted to give back and potentially help anyone! Thanks @HU-918119203! They aren't actually different ceiling heights, but there's a soffit between the bookshelf room and kitchen that contains a LVL, HVAC, and plumbing, so it looks different. We got new stools so I'm adding a photo of what they look like from the sink wall facing the shelves - love them so much - same walnut as shelves and back of cabinet with glass doors ....See More
