ur kitchen was so old, it was becoming trendy
again," quipped Steve Permut about the room
he and wife Linda had considered redoing for years.
Concerned about changing the character of their nearly
70-year-old home and perplexed that the only
additional space they could add would require a size
reduction of the unusually large dining room they
loved, they put off what they knew needed to be done.
Finally, when the colors of their old kitchen started
coming back, they decided it was time for action and
that's when they called Gittleman.
"When we saw what they came up with, we said 'This
is it!"' recalled Steve. "Their creativity spurred us on."
Purim Partners
Costumes, books sought for Central Galilee kids.
Down came the walls that enclosed a butler's pantry,
divided the kitchen and separated it from the house.
Gone are the pale blue tiles of a different era, replaced
by a state of the art galley kitchen glistening with new cabinetry and a show-stopping angled peninsula ideal
for gathering around by guests or grown children home for a visit.
Totally different, bigger than before, and exactly what they wanted—once they saw Gittleman's plans on
paper—their new kitchen came in not only on budget but on time and without sacrificing even an inch of
the room where they host family feasts and celebrate special occasions.
"We like having a large dining room," said Steve. "And we still have one."
So next time you're reluctant to start a job that needs doing, you can see what happily ever after looks like
before you begin, when you begin with a call to Gittleman.
JUST ASK THE PERMUTS.

n a recent visit to Federation's
Partnership 2000 region of the
Central Galilee in Israel, mem-
bers of Michigan Jewry's P2K Steering
Committee gave children at Gilad
School Purim costumes. The costumes
had been collected through
Federation's P2K Volunteer Forum
Subcommittee.
When participants on the
November trip saw how the children's
faces at the Nazareth Illit school lit up
with the gift of costumes, it was decid-
ed then and there to continue the
drive for costumes, as well as for books
to benefit other schools in the region.
Now through March 10, new or
gently used costumes for boys and
girls can be dropped off in the collec-
tion box in the lobby of Hillel Day
School of Metropolitan Detroit,
32200 Middlebelt, Farmington Hills.
