I'm am thrilled to finally be sharing our kitchen makeover with you today! Our counter tops were delivered last week and my husband had them installed in one afternoon. Now our kitchen is {mostly} complete!
We had a tight budget to complete our entire kitchen on which had to include all new appliances. Luckily I have an extremely handy husband who did all of the work himself and saved us a lot of dinero.
We spent just around $5,000 for everything! The largest part of our budget went towards new appliances {$3,000}. We spent the rest of our budget {$2,000} on everything else. The largest portion of that budget went towards new stock cabinet s and new laminate counter tops.
I can't wait any longer...here is my new favorite room in our house.
Now let's take a look at where we started this journey. If you missed earlier posts about our renovation you can find them here, here, here, and lastly here.
Our pantry was way too small and that empty wall was underutilized.
We removed all of the cabinets on the frig wall and moved our new refrigerator down slightly to make room for what would become our new larger pantry.
We {well mostly my husband} removed the old pantry.
Then my husband built a new larger corner pantry.
We also added new stock cabinets to that empty wall.
Some crown molding, paint, and new counter tops complete the room.
This side of the room stayed mostly the same.
We did remove the cabinet over the microwave and add a larger one.
My husband cut out the doors and added glass to the cabinets over the microwave. He also added interior lights inside the cabinet.
We replaced the faucet and light over the sink. I love the look of our new laminate counter tops.
I couldn't find a great before photo of our island, this is during appliance swapping.
My husband added wainscoting and trim to the island and then I painted it black. We liked the idea of the island being a different color then the rest of the cabinets.

I am beyond thrilled with our new kitchen. Of course there are things we would still like to do in the future such as a tile backsplash and new flooring, but we are happy for now!
The best part is that we can say we did it all ourselves and didn't break the bank doing it {thanks hubby}!
