I HAVE NO KITCHEN

By the end of Sunday, Dec 12th, my kitchen looked liked picture #1 above.  We sold the kitchen to someone who will put it in rental property (?)  Ok, it is going to a new life - recycled and all so I am proud of that - but EVERYTHING went.
I have no sink, no range, no microwave, no fridge, no dishwasher, no cabinets and
no countertop.
We made $300 on the deal however! and the new owners did all the work - SWEET.
After I came home from work Monday, the kitchen looked like Picture #2.
We are removing the soffit, the tile, one small wall and the old pantry/closet.  Yuck - dust and insulation everywhere!
But it is all progress

I have a new JennAir gas range (36") stainless steel, in my front room and the exhaust hood is coming today (also Stainless Steel).  We haven't finalized all the design yet but there will no longer be a pennisula and the new pantry will be built in next to the fridge.  The countertops will be white Corian. The back splash will be tiled but probably pencil tile made of white marble, gray glass and beige marble to pull all the colors together.  The kitchen cabinets will be red oak and the dining room will be mahogony to match an anitque hutch I have - so I guess I'll need a new dining table and chairs to match the hutch. 
I'm looking at cork flooring - we'll see how that goes.
Anyway I'll keep updating pictures if I can find my camera and my computer... that's the part of remodeling that drives me nuts:  WHERE IS EVERYTHING?

But again, thanks Murray District for not letting me retire - all this money you could have saved is now going to a good cause:  ME!

Your white Corian® kitchen design sounds like it will be gorgeous. You should share some photos with our facebook community (www.facebook.com/corianhome) – I’m sure they would be just as excited as I am to see how your remodel turns out. Christine from DuPont
