I can't believe that it has already been over one year since the complete gut remodel of the kitchen here at BHH. Neither Andy nor I have any regrets about the money we spent on this remodel.

The past seven weeks went by in a flash. Moments of quiet and slow with my paintbrush merged with the fast lane of getting everything finished on time. As usual, I was tapping the walls with a touch-up brush and fussing with the decor until the last second. Now that it is finally reveal day,…
