Interiors International, Inc. WOW! Is that really the same house? May I ask without being rude what the ball park cost of the reno was?

gdegeorge Roughly $50,000 to $55,000

LizaJane George...what a fabulous job! Kudos to you!

Ironwood Builders Did you hire professional designers and contractors or was this a DIY? Great look, really like the results! Oh, and a hint as to your geographic location...The cost factor has been a topic of many posts recently and adding a bit of information to my brain data bank can help in future discussions.

Interiors International, Inc. That is an amazing result for that budget. I thought you spent much more.

curacaoblue Was hoping you would post the kitchen after seeing the adjoining room. This looks great as well!

gdegeorge i have just posted the images of the the adjoining room. Thanks for the nice comments.

gdegeorge The house is in Ponte Vedra Beach Florida. I am a retired retail store and bank branch designer so I took a shot at it.

Paradise Restored Landscaping & Exterior Design Okay - I just had my WOW moment - AMAZING! Really AMAZING!

gdegeorge Thank you very much. We are very happy with how it turned out

Reico Kitchen & Bath Great job opening up the space and making the kitchen relevant again!

gdegeorge Thank you

zenhome Awesome renovation - your home is stunning!!

gdegeorge Thank you

gdegeorge The Kitchen was about $50,000 to $55,000. The entire house, inside and out was about $160,000.

jonomat This is actually such a beautiful kitchen!

curraghgirl Stunning!!

princessms absolutely beautiful!!! i had to look at both pics several times to make sure it was the same home!! LOL what a big difference that made.

saltcitybabe Wow......speechless in Utah.

tambela The before looks a lot like my home and I have wanted to move the "wall" however it is a supporting wall in a two story home. I am going to keep looking for options.

Beverly Hughes omg...this is exciting especially since the before pic is the same as looking at my kitchen with the exception of the wall oven. I have been wanting to update it but just have not had the money and still don't now that I am unemployed. I had envisioned an island but not turned in the same direction in the after picture - this will work - love it!

heidigreta Very nice. The stain has a very "rich" look to it. Nice layout. Well done!

Dixie Henrie Those spaceship ceiling things are all over in the area I live in. So strange. Your "after" is just gorgeous.

jenhamilton Absolutely stunning! Great choices all around on color, layout, appliances, etc... love the fixture over the island. Can you tell me the brand or where you found it? Thanks!

jimandjoy Its very nice but living in Fl I would prefer lighter color cabinest. I am thinking of kitchen remodel but the 50-55K is scaring me!

gdegeorge The fixture over the island is from a company called Hubbardton Forge

kimcooper I don't care for it. I don't like black for anything more than an accent, and I don't like the arrangement. Being more open is nice.

Main Line Kitchen Design I like everything about it with one exception. Having the refrigerator in back of the sink. But you are retired so I'm sure this is less of an issue than it would be in a busy large family. Very tasteful selections.

Carolina Window Roofing and Siding Company Love the open feel and the new lighting.

gdegeorge Thank you. We really love the open felling

karen2nz Can u put up some more pictures? I am curious where the main sink is? I may be tearing down a wall and it is similar in design. :)

gdegeorge I will. I can post them tomorrow

ikeltz Wow! What a transformation. Looks fantastic.

Jessica Sanchez Kitchen looks great. It was nice before too.

nukiegirl George Just Gorgeous and love the selection of colors and arrangment. KimCooper...........that is not black, but Expresso a very rich look!

suz1812 Holy cow! Awesome!

Studio S Squared Architecture, Inc. That is some serious BANG for the $....bravo!

Nip Tuck Remodeling Beautiful space! You did a wonderful job and I'm happy to see this result in the price range you mentioned. Keeping the general configuration the same and just removing non structural walls gives you a lot of look for the money.

Cabinets 4U, Inc. Talk about dramatic, you've changed how that whole space functions. You executed your vision beautifully.

Emerson Brothers, LLC. Home Remodeling Beautiful Job! It is definitely not stuck in the 90's anymore!

gdegeorge Than you for the nice comments. We really love it
