House Remodel: Kitchen


The kitchen looked old when I moved in 11 years ago.  It was actually part of the attraction: within five years I was going to rip out the existing and build new cabinets.  Five years turned into ten and I decided there was no way I was going to build any cabinets (building the vanity last year informed that decision). 
Since the hallway is under construction, let's add the kitchen too.

White-painted yucky pressed-board cabinets everywhere!
 


We found a great deal on new cabinets at a local cabinet shop.  We chose 'cinnamon' stained maple cabinets to replace all the existing. 



The formica will soon give way to black quartz

And the floor will have the same vinyl Teak as the hallway.
To date I tore out the upper cabinets and the floor.  
I tried to talk Sandi into keeping the 70's floor.  She insisted on a new floor.
Our sink is a bit small.  The next one will be a larger undermount.

Our storage area
Only a couple more weeks until the new ones arrive.  When all is finished, our cabinets will extend about a foot beyond their current footprint (towards the garage).
