Budget Kitchen Remodel

We’re in the middle of our Budget Kitchen Remodel.

Kitchen Remodel | Week 4

It’s week 4, and more progress is happening!  Our floors were refinished this past week, and we are THRILLED with the result.  Here is the after:

Kitchen Remodel | Week 4

And here is the before:

Our floors were pretty orangish in color, and I always hated the way they looked.  They were also fairly cupped (we bought the house with them this way – there was obviously a moisture issue at some point).  I have been dreaming about the day we refinished them, so I am overjoyed to have gorgeous medium-brown, non-cupped floors!  I mentioned more details of the floors and the refinishing process, and you can read all about it here in Week 3’s update. We had the floors stained in Jacobean and went with a matte finish.  I had the gloss finish in my old home, and it showed dust so badly.  I am hoping the matte does a better job concealing our dirt… When the floors were refinished, the quarter-round trim was removed and then later added back on.  As a result, the baseboards all needed repainting.  One thing led to another, and suddenly I was painting the entire dining room.  I loved the gray, but it did always seem dark in the room with only one window.  Also, I’m adding gray to our kitchen and didn’t want an all-gray home…

My daughter loves to remove painter’s tape, so I put her to work over the weekend removing rolls and rolls of painter’s tape.

Now that the floors are done, we are so ready to put our home back in order and have some seating and a dining room table that is not in the garage.

This coming week we will be adding more cabinets and the appliances will be delivered!

 I cannot tell you how excited I am to have appliances back!

  1. What a delight. To have dreams coming true. To have a willing helper. To have everything looking new and clean. To finding patience to endure disorder in your house. To design a beautiful and functional space for your family. Great job.

  2. I love your paint selections! We are in process of remodeling a new home and am debating white vs a sea salt type clot for kitchen cabinets with a stained wood island. Would you mind sharing your cabinet color? Thanks!

I love this chair and side table from @zgallerie that I decided to try it in my office/library. I’m not sure where I love it more - here or my bedroom! It adds so much elegance and charm to the spaces. Use my code SY5 at checkout for 5% off your entire purchase.

We waited 13 years for this - and our house looks happier with her glow-up!

We went from a drafty single door (with a 90s glass inlay I poorly covered up) to double doors that allows in more light and feel right for our home.

What do you think?

*TWO THINGS that make wallpaper removal easy* Wallpaper has come a long way and there’s no need to be scared of it anymore! Before I hang wallpaper, I size the walls and often use pre-pasted SureStrip wallpaper that is activated with water! Comment WALLPAPER for easy to remove wallpaper links!
