Kitchen: The vinyl flooring was replaced with a 1'x2' slip resistant porcelain tile. The original oak cabinet boxes were kept. All drawer slides were replaced with 'Soft Close' ball bearing slides and new stainless pulls. Formica counter tops were replaced with 'Mocha' engineered Quartz. All appliances were replaced: Decor gas cook top with KitchenAid downdraft system, Combination Viking convection oven and Microwave, and a GE Profile dishwasher.
