That is why I had a DIY project to push me and my friends to our creative limits. But in the case of windows, I had ours with the help of our local <a href="http://www.showcasebuildersinc.com/Vinyl_Replacement_Windows.php" rel="nofollow">vinyl replacement windows (Minneapolis</a> based installers), since it is pretty risky to handle it on our own and we're afraid that it might blow off when we did it ourselves.<br /><br />After replacing the <a href="http://www.showcasebuildersinc.com/Windows_and__Doors.php" rel="nofollow">windows in St. Paul</a>, we bought ourselves a fine countertop and cabinets that works perfectly to prepare and dine in. Days later, our kitchen looks presentable and remarkable!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675948615755962380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643332223539296916.post-51775254671538149702009-11-10T18:48:38.160-05:002009-11-10T18:48:38.160-05:00I am in serious kitchen envy right now.

I am now looking forward to the day when we can walk into a brand new kitchen, which hopefully is very soon in the future. <br /><br />BTW, love the subway tiles you had chosen. I'm a fan of classic. Glass tiles are definitely beautiful, but timeless classic beats it any day. Thanks for the inspiration.Lyzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08578990463326235105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643332223539296916.post-72915827766725788142009-07-08T16:47:32.165-04:002009-07-08T16:47:32.165-04:00there are many practical inexpensive solutions to ...there are many practical inexpensive solutions to renovate a home. lately, i have been recommending diy kits to my clients.

Now ...I'm so happy everyone is loving the kitchen.<br /><br />Now to answer some questions. <br /><br />The chambers stove does work! It is currently in my gargage. We tried selling it a while back, but got no offers. So it's just hanging out. I dream of having a home store some day and I think I could always use it as a prop/display piece in the shop. <br /><br />The cabinets are from IKEA! Amazing product and it all come up to around 2,800 not bad for a kitchen remodel. <br /><br />Keep the questions coming. I love to help!High-Heeled Foot in the doorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16510460239869884038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643332223539296916.post-8837367538231360512009-05-01T00:26:00.000-04:002009-05-01T00:26:00.000-04:00Beautiful what you've done.

If you just want a light colour then you need to pick an undertone? Yellow, pink or green? Or do you want a 'fresh and clean colour' in a pale tone. Give me some idea and I would be happy to give you my two cents!!Maria Killamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728225086725817125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643332223539296916.post-6067563373747673252009-05-01T00:04:00.000-04:002009-05-01T00:04:00.000-04:00kitchen looks awesome but what did u do w/ the old...kitchen looks awesome but what did u do w/ the old stove? i love ur old stove!!firecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11417262504777165849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643332223539296916.post-27525617784694724952009-04-30T18:43:00.000-04:002009-04-30T18:43:00.000-04:00The kitchen looks terrific.
