| I am finally posting pictures of my finished Minnesota kitchen - about 2 years later! Most of you probably don't even remember me, but I received the greatest help from everyone on this forum a few years ago. You all saw me through some very challenging times. Hopefully at least a few of the old-timers here (you know who you are) will remember. I cannot thank everyone enough. I'm posting here for posterity and for inclusion in the FKB. And then, I can finally move on to finish my next project - my NJ kitchen.
A link to the photos and details is below. (If the subsequent links in smugmug don't work, please let me know.)
This remodel was a complete gut, done out of necessity after a water/broken pipe disaster. Although it's small, it's the most functional, user-friendly kitchen I've ever had!
