Remodel Day 10-20

We also went to Home Depot this week to buy our cabinets. We were initially going to go with a medium wood because it was the best color they had in their pre-assembled selection. However, the night we went to buy them, Jeff and I found these dark wood cabinets for about the same price. I am so glad we found them...they look so good. The cabinets also ended up being a little cheaper than we expected, which was awesome...considering we have been spending at least $100 a day from Home Depot.


After painting, Jerry came over and helped us assemble the cabinets. Tonight he finished them, and I can't believe how great it looks. This project is almost over, and although it was a nightmare, it was so worth it. I just can't wait to have people over and be able to use the kitchen. I am so grateful to Jerry for his help. We wouldn't have been able to do it without him...he is such a good brother to have...Thanks Jerry!!!

Remodel Day 6-9

Once the drywall was on the walls, we spent a couple of days mudding holes and corners. Once everything was mudded and sanded, we hired a texture guy to come and texture the walls to match the rest of our house. He charged us $300 to do everything...which is a great deal, and well worth it. Once he finished, we primed and then painted...and it is coming close to look like a kitchen. Jeff also worked on the electrical stuff this last week. He put the cans in the ceiling, and wired all the circuits for under cabinet lighting as well as pendant lights to go above the pony wall.
