| Welcome
to our special inside view of the making of the New
London Hospital Designer's Showhouse Kitchen! It's been
quite a journey, from the "ugly duckling"
of the 1940's & 70's "before" kitchen,
to our spectacular presentation. It just goes to show
you -- with a little vision, a lot of hard work and
the right team, anything is possible -- so feel free
to dust off your own ideas and start dreaming!

As you can see, we did
a fairly extensive renovation for this kitchen --
not just fresh paint here! We opened walls, moved
walls and moved and added windows and doors just
like a "real" kitchen renovation.
