I thought I would upload a few 'before' pics of the amazing olive-colored kitchen (pre-destruction). That way you'll understand why it was so necessary for us to have at the walls and give it a nice refinish. Keep in mind that this kitchen actually has 9' ceilings that have been dropped to 7' soffits around the perimeter, and there's been about 3.5' stolen for a stairway that just isn't necessary!
