I do home renovations and restorations for a living the past 35 years and currently I'm in the middle of reno-ing my own kitchen in a house we will sell as soon as the entire home has been redone. Right now I really should be upstairs cutting out the ceiling beams to create the cathedral ceiling I've been working on in there but I had this thread idea so the ceiling will have to wait another few minutes lol .
In the last house I did..and sold I used the brand Plain & Fancy cabinets which is a high end cab company but the house was in a high end neighborhood and warranted those kind. You can see it in my website if you'd like under the Goose Hill Project http://www.cliffordrenovations.com. I also fabricated my own counter tops using soapstone which was the first time I ever dealt with that medium and I have to say I LOVE SOAPSTONE now!! What kind of countertops do you all like working on?
In this current project I'll be subbing out the installation of granite counters because I can't fabricate those myself like I did with the soapstone.
The kitchen I'm working on now will have a small center island which brings me to kitchen lighting. My newest favorite idea which isn't new to most people is using "pendent lights".
Most of this kitchen will have recessed lighting b/c on cathedral ceiling it'd look odd having pendent lights hanging down 15'+ imo so I'll be hanging two just over the island.
What kind of lighting do you all like..or dislike and why?
I'll be posting photos of this current kitchen I'm working on from the original that was here to the demo work to the final products as soon as I'm done or maybe just in stages as I go along.
Whats your favorite things in a kitchen and whats your least favorite...and why?
