When Melissa at the Inspired Room was hosting a Procrastinators Party I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to join in the fun and get started on our kitchen remodel. I knew that I wouldn’t complete the kitchen remodel in two weeks, but I do feel good about what we’ve accomplished so far. Between juggling two on-going clients and my husband’s busy schedule, we were able to at least get started. Below is a before picture of our kitchen. 
Our plans are to:
- Add crown molding at the top of the cabinets
- Install glass doors on a few top cabinets (at least five cabinet doors)
- Paint the cabinets white
- Add hardware to cabinets
- Install new counter tops
- Install a new sink
- Install a new facet
- Install a new tile floor
In the wasted space below our plans are to add a kitchen island and put white shelving above the island.
Well this is what we’ve done so far. Pictured below is my Sweetie planning the installation of the crown molding at the top of the cabinets.

Below is a picture of a cabinet we purchased at the Habitat for Humanity Restore for $25.00. This cabinet will serve as the base for the kitchen island. The shelving was purchased to go above the island.
I also purchased oil bronzed hardware for the cabinets.
We’ve also been shopping for ceramic tile flooring and counter tops. We still haven’t made a decision on that just yet but will in the next week or two.
When it’s all completed, I will be sure to celebrate and you’re all invited to the celebration.
Thanks Melissa for hosting this party and getting us started! It’s been a project long over do.
Blessings,
Gail
Looking good so far! We are in the same process of redoing our kitchen, but it wasn't planned. The pipes bursted and flooded everything!
ReplyDeleteMy husband installed two new cabinets last night, that he made himself. I'm going to paint everything white and add glass doors to the front of mine too! It will be fun to watch your progress as I do mine.
Have a blessed day!

It's looking wonderful Gail! Your list looks a lot like the one I've been working on. We did the crown molding last week and are working on the counter tops this week. We are installing cherry butcherblock from Lumber Liquidators.

you're off to a great start - and you have such a great space to start with - not everyone is that lucky LOL! I can't wait to see more - adding you my favs...
ReplyDeleteThis is very exciting...My list is the same as yours (well, very close). Please take lots of pictures. It will be a tremendous help to me. My DH doesn't do much carpentry or building--it's usually me, so I'll be watching very closely. I'm going to start today by cleaning off the top of the cabinets. This is SO EXCITING!!!

Wow! Your "to do" list is about as long as mine. Crown molding always looks fabulous, and I'm inspired to start working on adding some to my house. Good luck with the rest of your makeover!
ReplyDeleteWell, it looks like everyone kitchen "to do" list is about the same, lol. We plan on putting up crown moding at the top of our cabinets also,adding oil bronzed hardware, and buying new countertops! We have a Habitat For Humanity Store in Georgetown,DE that we have gone to a couple of times and we always come back with goodies. Love that place and it helps out others at the same time. Thanks for showing. I will follow your progress.
ReplyDeleteLooking good can't wait to see it finished love the handles. hugs, Cherry
ReplyDeleteIsn't it so nice to get started on a project like this! I Know it will be fantastic when you get all finished. Great idea for the island and I love Habitat Restores! We have found so many neat things there!
