Gripe: "Restoration." Yea right.

I think the word you're looking for is renovation.

1800's farmhouse kitchen...

Everything stays and is returned to the way it was when it was new... Restoration

Cabinets, sink, fixtures, ect stay, but counters change to granite and appliances change to stainless steel... Renovation

Everything goes, track lighting, mirrors, and gloss black cabinets go in...Re-wipe.
