Finished Kitchen
Posted by admin
Kitchen Before
Kitchen After
Quite an improvement, huh?
Replaced garden window, replaced countertops, painted cabinets, new appliances, new sliding glass door, installed wood floor, new pantry door, new ceiling lights, installed undercabinet lighting, tiled backsplash, replaced outlets
Total cost: $8000 (inlcudes new appliances). Total time: about 120 hours (that’s my estimate and I’m sticking to it). Most of the work was done in random 3 hour shifts over about 5 months.

WOW! What a transformation! Your before kitchen was very similar to ours, which we’re in the process of updating. Thx for the DIY inspiration, esp. the gorgeous backsplash!!!!

The kitchen before looks like a kitchen at an NYU dorm ahahaha. I love it after!! Maybe you should put some curtains at the window, it looks too open. I’m actually painting my walls with the help of this video http://www.howcast.com/videos/716-How-To-Paint-a-Wall so I hope my whole DIY project turns out nicely. Taking a lot of time though.

Can you tell me the jobs sequence (e.g.: counter top, floor etc. which should do first ) in the whole Kitchen project.

I think the cabinets have to be done first, then the counter top, then the plumbing, then the flooring/appliances. That way you don’t really risk ruining the floor or the counters doing the rest of the work.
