There are some ways to get a new kitchen or a new look without costing your life savings. We had such a project recently where the client did not like their kitchen at all and their floors looked like they were 40 years old. They did not have a budget that would be able to afford a new kitchen so we decided to reface the cabinets. Instead of removing the existing floor and moldings we decided to sand, water pop, stain and then poly the floors. Water popping is where we open the pores of the wood so the stain soaks through giving a much darker, richer color. We also built a custom piece for storage and shelving

She looked at me with such disdain and said “Ikea is a four letter word for a reason”.  As the years past more and more people started to ask me to install their Ikea cabinets. Each time we installed them they seemed to look nicer and nicer. Now we have installed so many Ikea kitchens and other cabinets that we custom make our kitchens with their cabinets. I do not hesitate to recommend Ikea cabinets to even my Hi-End clients, most of which will say yes and they are very happy when it is completed. Below is several photo’s of kitchens and a craft room we are finishing up right now
