he wanted a very modern kitchen,” Maria said. “We definitely wanted the stainless steel appliances. We loved the trendy grays and white color pallets we saw online and in magazines, but we went with AllSouth’s shaker cabinets to give it a little more of a traditional feel.” George was very hands on and handled all of the general contracting throughout the project. However, even with an involved approach, the project still took the couple the better part of ten weeks.
“Not having a kitchen for that long with a 5-year-old was the biggest challenge,” Maria said. “We did a makeshift kitchen downstairs and used the grill a lot.” Now that the kitchen is completed, Maria said she is enjoying the fresh look. “I love the streamlined cleanliness of it,” she said. “The counter top space is there now. I love my soft close cabinets and drawers, especially with a young child in the house.” The couple was also able to add a pantry to the room, which Maria said she missed desperately from their previous home. “It isn’t large, but it has pull-out
shelves and it’s awesome,” she said. “I didn’t even realize how much I missed it until I got it back.” She advises anyone who’s considering a similar remodel to be patient. “You can’t prepare for it,” she said. “I felt like we were prepared and it worked, but it wasn’t as seamless as I thought it would be. Be prepared for extra time. Be prepared to wait on people.” To: Emily Now that the family has completed From: Over The Mountain Journal, 205-823-9646 ph., the redo, they have another big proj205-824-1246, fax ect on the horizon: kindergarten.
