DIY Kitchen Cabinets







It's been a while since our last post and the long gap in between means we've gotten a lot of work done! Here are some pics of the cabinetry we installed. We actually have more done than these show here, but the camera is dead, batteries need charged... More final pics to come. These should give a good idea of where we're headed with our kitchen reno. Currently, we have everything installed. We just need to order a couple of odds and ends to finish up and then add things like trim, backsplash, etc.

Kitchen Floor Progress





Here are some pictures of our kitchen floor. During the original demolition, Ken pulled up a couple of layers of linoleum which left about 3/4 of our kitchen covered in black adhesive/old finish residue. Part of it came up with some gentle scraping. The rest had to be sprayed with Krud Kutter and scraped. This was mostly Carrie's job, but thanks goes out to both of our moms who put their energy into this as well!

We rented a 4 Disc Orbital Sander and Ken sanded the floors. Carrie then stained them to match the rest of the house. The color was a perfect match. Next step will be to put a few coats of polyurthene and then we will set our cabinets...which are completely built and sitting in our living room. Good times.
