This was a small, in-house, job to refresh an older (1945/1990/remod)
home, taken in on a trade for a new home, before putting it back on the
market.

The kitchen was part of a 3 bath/kitchen remodel, and the idea was to be
"inexpensive", but not cheap (To be honest, I was perfectly happy with
the old kitchen, but the preponderance of estrogen involved weighed in
said to "just shut up and do it!").

Including the appliances, I did more recycling of kitchen parts in this
one job than I've ever done in any building project ... stuff that
normally goes into the dumpster, went right back into the kitchen.

Because of being an older home, that was remodeled (badly) in 1990,
there were a lot of "gotcha's" and necessary "making of lemonade",

(including the difference in floor height between the kitchen and living
room that was previously hidden by a 16' long "L" shaped peninsula (not
shown) which, and until we removed it, its sole purpose was apparently
to hide that heretofore hidden "feature"

.... you never know what your are going to uncover. NEVER

Anyway, somehow managed to tie the old and new in the kitchen together
in a tolerable manner (Thanks to SketchUP) ... and let's hope a
prospective buyer thinks so:

Just passed the final kitchen plumbing and electrical this afternoon.

(BTW, the bathrooms are stunning, except I don't get turned on by
bathrooms ...)
