My Kitchen - Great Room Makeover

After living in my starter home and fixing it up for 10 years, I finally moved into my dream home in February 2011. My dream home is a 1984 brick house with the 2 things I wanted most, a large kitchen-great room and a master bath. It has tons of built-ins and cabinets, but they are all honey oak. Needless to say, I have had my work cut out for me, but it has been fun. 5 months after moving in I started to go a bit insane with all of the honey oak in the kitchen-great room, so I started a makeover that took about a year to finish.
As I blog about each project involving the kitchen-great room makeover I will post it here:
