Dear Larry,
Now that we've had almost seven months of breaking in our new kitchen and enjoying the new "kids' wing", I thought I would check in and give you, Amy and Carl an update.
As we had envisioned, the kitchen has become the social hub of the house for both our family and friends. We really broke the kitchen in over the holidays with heavy duty cooking and entertaining, including a spur of the moment open house with 65 guests. We couldn't get folks out of the kitchen. It just works!! Everything from the design, to the workmanship to the small important details (e.g. an internet connection; boiling water dispenser for Judy's daily cup of tea; a hideaway TV cabinet for the sports fanatics; and of course the "command central station" complete with custom designed file cabinets, bulletin board, etc.) has made the kitchen our most favorite room in the house. As one of our friends remarked, "It's a design which combines both elegance and common sense." We couldn't agree more.
There's also been an unexpected benefit to the remodeling. With Ryan's bedroom now tucked downstairs and out of sight, our stress level has gone down considerably. We now only argue about the cleanliness of his room once a week instead of our daily battles when his room was located just off the kitchen. The kids' remodeled area has given us all more space, privacy...and peace.
As you can well imagine, we've received many inquiries from friends eager to know about our remodeling experience. Based on others' experiences, folks have a hard time believing that the job was truly completed on time, the workmanship was superb, and we still are on good terms with our contractor.
Thanks to you, it sounds like we indeed were among the lucky ones.
Thanks again for a terrific job. Please convey our appreciation to Carl and Amy.
Warm Regards.
J.B. |
