Kitchen Reno

This kitchen reno took an outdated, run down eat in kitchen and transformed it into a bright and airy gathering space on a minimal budget as far as kitchen renovations go.

This home was built in 1969, and the kitchen was last renovated in the early 1990s. It was functional, but there were obvious issues, including the sink cabinet rotting out due to water damage and the stove immediately adjacent to the wall and doorway. While the upper cabinets were in decent shape, the majority of the lower cabinets had sustained water damage or wear and tear that wasn’t easily repaired. Because of the limited budget, we decided to use Ikea cabinets, which allowed us to install upper cabinets that went to the ceiling and a wider variety of features for a fraction of the price. This did require a lot more work from the homeowners, but saved them significant money on labor. The total project took three weeks from demo to counter install, and then the backsplash and painting took another two days. The final project included a full gut job, updated plumbing, relocation of the range and outside vent, new cabinetry, new flooring, new appliances (fridge to come), and new paint. In addition, an island was purchased to provide additional storage and seating in the kitchen and also created a gathering area without having to remove any walls.

The final product is a bright and airy space, filled with light all without the removal of any walls. Check out the before & after photos to see the transformation!
