Larry & Jan Skolnik’s Kitchen

PROJECT TIME: 6 WEEKS FROM START TO FINISH

Larry and Jan had lived in their 1952 home in Portland, Oregon for about 35 years. The kitchen only had some minor face lift updates since it was built. New counters, sink/faucet, floor and painting. They were ready for a new look and feel for this space. We took everything down to the studs. Swapped the location of the stove and refrigerator, put in all new cabinets, hardwood floors, granite countertops, tile backsplash, under cabinet lighting. We also installed a new under mount farm sink, air switch for the disposal and a new faucet. There are all new appliances. The existing pantry was taken out and replaced with a more up to date version. The cabinets were painted in place. This gives a much deeper look to the paint and whole different look to the kitchen.

Since they have a small dinette area we also built in a bench seat with cushions into the corner to give this space more room. The opening into the hallway and dining room were both slightly enlarged and the new opening goes all the way to the ceiling.

They are thrilled with their new look and everyone thinks they added on since the new layout looks so much better. This is the 5th project we have done for them over a period of 25 years. Great customers and have also become friends.
