For those of you who don't know, we moved into a "new" home August of last year. We got a great deal on it, but it was a bit of a fixer upper. The kitchen especially needed help. Here's some before photos that I got from the realtor...
We tore out the old counters, backsplash, stovetop, range hood, and sink. We also ripped down the yucky orange brownish wallpaper and painted the walls. And my dad rebuilt the island so that it wouldn't wobble anymore. We chose a beautiful granite called Bianco Romano and Home Depot installed it. I absolutely love it! Eventually, we would like to tear out the flooring, and replace the white appliances with stainless steel to match the stove top and range hood.
Here is the after...
Dan did a great job on the subway tile backsplash. We also installed new hardware from dlawlesshardware.com. Their price is way better than Home Depot and it is free shipping!
Here are a few before photos of the living room...
Dan ripped up the carpet, leveled the floors, and installed engineered hardwood flooring in the living room, entry, and dining room. That was quite the job! We also tore out the ugly tile surrounding the fireplace and put in carrara marble subway tile. (Still missing the transition piece around the hearth.)
Here is the after...
we are going to put a built-in where the niche is next to the fireplace
Most of these projects were finished many months ago, but I am just now getting around to posting the pictures. Next project is the master bathroom that has wallpaper and carpet.
