House Projects

One of our top remodeling lists was our kitchen. It was fine, but the old yellowish oak cabinets were just looking a little out dated. We decided we would refinish them. That's when the project went from refinishing the cabinets to doing everything. I'm glad we did and in the long run, when it's our house for sale against the other one, hopefully our updated kitchen will win :). It was a process trying to find which granite we liked best, which back splash tile would go best with the granite and would black painted cabinets make our kitchen look smaller than it already is? Well this is what we decided.......

House hunting picture was the only one of the old kitchen we had.

This one is out of order, but here it is with the dry-wall up and counter tops off.

all the doors off (don't look at the messy cupboards)

We took the doors somewhere to be professionally painted but did the drawers and facing ourselves. It actually wasn't too bad, but for time sake, I'm glad we paid to have the majority done.

In the process....things got a little messy. Guess that's what you get for remodeling.

And the finished project. Scott added these island legs. I was skeptical at first, but glad we spent the extra $$ for them. They add a nice touch.

My husband is soooooo handy. We had old warehouse bubble lighting before and Scott put in these can lights. They look so much better.

My handy husband also did the crown molding up. He's definately a keeper :).

And there you have it.....our new kitchen. It's our new favorite room!
