The Moran Kitchen remodel had a 19 year wait from a whole house remodel that we did for the family in 1994. At that time, the new hexagon stair tower and the second floor hexagon Master BR and bath chewed up all the budget. We ended up fabricating a “temporay” kitchen made out of saved cabinets from the original house built in the early ’70’s and we even used recycled exterior doors for countertops. We were ecstatic when we got the call back to finally build out Cathy’s kitchen. Cathy grew up on farm and always likes to cook with fresh vegs. She maintains an amazing backyard garden year round and starts her own plants in the new garden window.
