Aug. 27, 2007 - Kitchen Makeover Done!
Another blessing to share...
I have mentioned a few times about the makeover DH and I did on our kitchen. I finally have some "Before" and "After" pictures to show you!
This is what are kitchen looked like when we moved into this house - Fall 1999. Adding 2 children and other necessary repairs (to other parts of the house) kept us from re-doing it ...until now!
And AFTER....
Yes, that is the new fridge we bought last March with our tax return! It's what started this whole makeover rolling - it was too tall for our exsisting cabinets so DH altered the ones above the fridge and they needed to be repainted.
I really enjoy the new "golden yellow" color on the walls. It so cheery now and there is a whole wall that is yellow that you can't see in these pictures. I chose nickel finish knobs to compliment the fridge but the biggest and best difference are the new countertops. My husband took up the challenge and replaced them having never done anything like it before - it was a true labor of love! He did a great job! They are such a drastic change from the old laminate that I know was atleast 25 years old.
So all together, not including the refrigerator, this make-over costs us $500.00. Over half of that was for the counter top and the supplies to install it. The paint and primer took up a good chunk and then all the new hardware plus a new valance over the sink.
I'm really thankful to have this nice change in our kitchen -- a place where a lot of time is spent, as you homeschool moms well know! Thanks for letting me share.
