Keith & Mickie Rogal

You have won the Cornerstone Cabinets & Countertops
Ugly Kitchen Contest!

You have won a prize package value at over $12,500.00 from

Cullen's Home Center



We were looking for the ugliest all around kitchen and we found it. Cutting
edge design and decor when it was installed 30 years ago but now
desperately ready for updates to the cabinets, countertops, appliances and floors.
Yes, again, that is carpet. I wish I could say differently but carpet on the
kitchen floor was a common theme with many entries. This was likely
some hip stuff in 1972 but its time for it to go!


Good, quality, solid, UGLY. The perfect cabinets for refacing. 
Thank you to all the who participated. Check back later for the announcements for the Random Drawing Winners as well as to follow the progress of the Rogal's Ugly Kitchen Redo!

Dark, Darker, and Scallops

Dark, Darker & Scalloped Accents

Do these kitchens have anything in common with yours? 
Want to 'lighten' up you kitchen and bring it up do date? 
These people did and so they entered our Ugly Kitchen Contest.
If you don't completely 'love' your kitchen enter today!!

Love the retro-red bistro table. But the cabinets leave something to be desired.
Look closely and you will see there is literally NO countertops
on either side of the sink.
Yeah, we can fix that.

Dark oak, strange two level countertop, quasi open to the dinning area.
Yeah, we can fix that.
Check out this slide show to see a similar kitchen we refaced.

We can't do much about the wallpaper, but updating these
'knotty' pine cupboards into something crisp, clean and new?
Yep, we can fix that.

Do you have fancy scroll work on your cabinets?
We have seen a lot of these in this contest and
 they don't exactly scream hip.
Yup, we can fix that too.

Plenty to do here

Here are some more selections from our entries. Plenty of updates needed around here. How about your kitchen?

Stop and see us. We can help.


I kid you not, the is old school red linoleum flooring for a countertop. Not as
unusually as you may think. Yeah, we can fix that.

Not to bad of a color scheme for an older kitchen. Bad laminate seams and
30 years of use of use have this countertop ready for an update.
Yeah, we can fix that.

Another example showing why paint is best left on the walls.
Thinking there has got to be a better spot for the sink too.
Yeah, we can fix that.

Orange Counters and a Chain

Not Ugly, just Blah


Classic Blah. 

Not every old kitchen is super 'ugly'. Many, if not most, kitchens are just like this contest entry. Perfectly 'fine' but not very inspiring.

Standard dark cabinets and plain white countertops leave much to desired. They function just fine but are not much to look at.

That's why refacing is so perfect for many homes. We can preserve the positive elements of your kitchen while creating a space you WANT to spend time in. All in less time and for less money than you thought a new kitchen possible! Find out more at Cornerstone Cabinets & Countertops today!

Safe to say these floors could use a makeover.
