Sadly the house didn’t come with the original stove, so we had this really awkward space next to our stove, and later we made the decision to ad the over the range microwave to create space on the counter tops.
These are cabinets that we found on the side of the road for $100!! They are solid maple with great drawer slides and door hinges. This was a score, and I am so happy we kept them for so many years. Saved over $10,000 easily.
It was then time for the granite guys to install our beloved counter tops! We have great connections in the construction industry and got a steal of a deal on granite slab counter tops. This is the night before they arrived, we created the plywood tops for the slabs to sit on.

You out did your self again. OUTSTANDING work!
Your kitchen is stunning! It looks amazing and I wish I had your DIY abilities and vision for change! I also love the old wallpaper pics that you featured. That is very cool! 🙂
Jenn, you are my hero. We did a remodel a few years back and it was very stressful. I was the foreman and person who bought all the supplies at the different warehouses and stores. I never had to paint or hammer anything. You rock!

Isn't it fun when you get your own hands dirty for some remodeling work on your home? The feeling you get when you finally get to share that big reveal and say that you did that is just wonderful, right? In any case, you din an amazing job on remodeling your kitchen, Jenn! It looks so much more modern and sophisticated now. Kudos to you! 🙂

This really IS a DIY dream! What a great job y'all did. Hope you're enjoying your beautiful new kitchen.
Thanks for sharing this at Grace at Home–I'm featuring you this week!
I LOVE this post! Thank you for sharing this! Gives me hope for our future kitchen remodel.
I am truly impressed! What a gorgeous kitchen and I can't believe the deal you got on those cabinets! Just beautiful! Do you remember what color stain you used on the floor? We are putting in finished-on-site red oak in our kitchen and I can't decide on the stain. Also – how long did the room smell after the floors were finished? I am dreading that part! Thanks and great job!
