It was hideous ... right?! Ugly brown want to be cabinets and terrible green tile. There used to be a wall there on the left of the picture but I didn't get a before shot of that.
To save money "we" I use that term very loosely it was mostly the hubster he did everything, from start to finish (well still working on things as I type). I sold those hideous cabinets on CL for 100 bucks. One mans junk is always another mans treasure right? We bought this pretty 12 x24 tile at Home Depot and layed it out in a staggered pattern. We purchased our all wood cabinets from Timeless Kitchen Outlet in Orlando, FL. They were delivered for a small fee and came in boxes that Derek assembled and hung.
Here is a picture of all the tile floor finished and the cabinets almost completed before the granite came in.
Picking out granite almost reminded me of how hard it was to choose a stroller! Of course all the ones I liked were a zillion dollars but I kept focused and remembered this kitchen needed to apeal not just to me but the masses when it was time to sell. So we went with a Level I in Giallio Ornamental. We had it installed by one of our locally owned and operated granite yards.
I am happy with the way it turned out. We still have some finishing touches .. like trim work and picking out hardware. For now we are simply enjoying having a kitchen again.
What do you guys think of the new kitchen?
