Before & After Remodel: Keeping the Best of the Past
6/23/11 2:20 PM

We definitely considered ditching the existing oven and hood, going with a new range and converting the double oven space into more storage. There were a few reasons why we decided against it in the end:

1. My wife likes to bake and wanted double ovens if possible
2. We really liked the look of the existing ovens and hood (but not the avocado green color so much)
3. We had a budget of $10,000 for the entire remodel, and buying a new range and hood would have been almost half that

Hi, this is the husband (damon). I just wanted to point out that the color balance in these photos is not totally accurate (we were excited to have the kitchen clean enough to take photos of it).

The cabinets in the before picture were a much lighter color than the photo might indicate. Think "golden oak".

The tile, ovens, and range hood were avocado green, and although they look like the same color in the after pictures, they are actually more of a pistachio green (like the mixer).

Thanks to everyone for the comments and constructive criticism. I agree that the door definitely needs to be addressed, and we are open to suggestions.
