CL &C may / 111/1 A ),) COMPLETE KITCHEN RENOVATION a seemingly difficult project to live through — turned out to be anything but difficult for Lauren and Randy Lesson... in fact, it was quite the opposite. — 129th UMS YURI TEMIRKANOV conductor JULIA FISCHER violin SUN, NOV4 I 7 PM [NOTE TIME] Hill Auditorium Lauren and Randy weighed all the possibilities before deciding on remodeling their Bloomfield Hills home, even entertaining the thought of moving. But after being introduced to Gittleman by an architect they were working with, they quickly changed their minds and hired Gittleman to handle the entire renovation. Lauren really enjoyed the convenience of Gittleman's in-house cabinetry lines and the assistance of the interior designer. "She came with me to all of the stores and helped me pick out everything," she said of her completely redesigned kitchen that now boasts updated cabinetry, appliances, islands and loads of natural light. "It's absolutely beautiful! It's beyond my wildest dreams. It went from an 80s-style kitchen to an expansive space that's traditional yet eclectic," Lauren exclaimed, noting that she looks forward to one day working with Gittleman again. So when the time comes to turn your living space into space that fits you, don't move out, move up with a call to Gittleman. JUST ASK THE LESSONS.

"They're such nice people, and so easy to work with." "It was easier to have an all-in-one, one-stop shop," explained Lauren. " And I felt more comfortable and secure having only one company in my house as opposed to hundreds of people." 1316870 RENOVATIONS The young, unpretentious, and superbly talented violinist Julia Fischer tackles Beethoven's monumentally difficult violin concerto in her UMS debut.
