Kitchen Facelift!

I am going to admit I SUCK at blogging. I always say I am going to actually do it this time, and then...I don't. Well I'm back to try again! So this year Brandon and I redid our kitchen, we're not done we still have the floors and change the back sliding door but for now it looks amazing!

Heres where it started...
This was a couple months after we moved in... maybe this was around January 2013, (sorry about the clothes it was the only picture I could find and our dryer was broken) ANYWAYS we hadn't done anything to the kitchen at this point. We actually lived with it like this for 2 years, until we bought it in August 2014.

Then we painted and gave the window some new blinds. We thought at that time it made a HUGE difference. Haha we were proud.  This was probably like December 2014

 

Then in April 2015 Brandon put up new cabinets all by himself! Well with my assistance of course but it was completely all us! Saved us a good amount of money for installation!!

A few weeks later we got new counters installed, luckily it didn't cost us any extra to have them professionally installed, and we removed the old countertops ourselves because if not we would have been charged a removal fee. We also did our own subway tile backsplash, I am proud to say I laid most of the tiles, while brandon did the tile cutting. Surprisingly this was pretty easy to do!

 

And at last this month August 2015 we were able to buy new appliances! which completed the last part before the floors!

Here is a budget breakdown estimate.

Cabinets: $700
Countertop: $700
Backsplash: $70
Appliances: $1200

Total: $2670.00


one more before and after just because...

If you ask me that's pretty good for what we got out of it. I am in love with the kitchen and entirely proud of Brandon and I for doing this ourselves. I think we did pretty darn well.
