BEFORE:
Pictures don’t do justice. . .
We painted the cabinets and purchased new hardware. That in and of itself was a HUGE improvement! David bought the knobs off ebay at 1/3 of the price they would have been at Lowe’s. We purchased our granite from Lowe’s though. They all know us by name there because we are in and out so much! I think we are close enough with the staff to have them over for a “finished product” party Anyways, we price matched and used a coupon so they “gave us some granite” (in their own words). It was a good deal too!
David did a great job on all of the tile. He taught himself and did it like a pro! My fav is the backsplash behind the oven/stove. Obviously, we also purchased new appliances. HHGregg promises to beat any price
For our cabinets, we painted them an “antique white” color then glazed them with a mocha glaze. David applied the glaze and I followed behind wiping off the cabinets but leaving some brown accent in the corners. We like the finished product. This cost about . . . $35 for a gallon of paint and glaze. Compare to thousands for new cabinets and a very similar look.
This is my little armoire/hutch thing. My craigslist purchase. I love the color and look of it. It’s great and functions as my desk/file storage/bill payment/computer area.
Wow, Haley, it’s BEAUTIFUL! You guys did such a great job and now you have a lovely kitchen.
