Kitchen Remodel

We started on November 24th and moved our fridge, oven, etc. downstairs. I precooked meals for 2 months - best decision I ever made. We started renovations the next day.


Kitchen before:











Day 1 of renovations: Removing doors, appliances, trim, and china cabinet:




On Day 2 CD, Papa and Brian ripped out our cabinets, making it dusty!








Black Friday was spent installing a sliding glass door, ripping out sheetrock, and then the rest of the tile floor.

Before sliding door:



During:





After!






A week later Brian, Papa and I rewired the entire room and added insulation:





We had to rip out the entire subfloor and re-level it with new plywood:


Sheetrock started after that:




We added a new window because the floors were going to bring the new countertops too high:


Next came knockdown texture and new can lights:


By day 19 we were ready for paint:






Day 20: Floor tile




After paint, day 22 began with cabinets!














Day 26: Appliances


Papa cleans out our garage..



Hooking up our new stove:


Done!




Waiting on counters (January 7th), cabinet crown, and backsplash!
