What goes into a kitchen remodel? Normandy Designer Leslie Lee is sharing her personal kitchen renovation to give us a glimpse of what you may experience as your kitchen is remodeled. You can start reading her story from the beginning, just click here.
“Ahh… A sigh of relief in the Lee household. The hideous garden windows have been replaced with four nice double-hung windows. The ginormous patio door that was caulked shut is finally gone, and three big double-hung windows are in its place. 
The new sliding patio door with shades has now replaced the horrible swing patio door that was in the kitchen. I think the dogs are going to love looking out that door at all the squirrels in the backyard.
It feels like a real house now. I can’t wait to find some cool funky window treatments for the four double-hung windows that just went into the family room. 
Stay tuned – cabinets are coming soon – this will be a big day!!!”

I can’t really get a straight answer on whether Super White is considered a granite, quartzite, or marble – which makes me nervous a bit. Carrara marble and Statuary White marble were also stone countertop options I considered, but putting marble in the main working area of a kitchen is a risk. It can stain and scratch more easily than other materials. I know with Super White, as with any natural stone, it will need to be sealed and maintained with care. So everybody – don’t be spillin’ red wine on my new countertops – ok!”
