So we saved up for the french door bottom freezer refrigerator from the sears scratch and dent store. We then got a over the stove microwave (new). And we then purchased a smooth top range from a friend who was upgrading for $100. We were set for a while.
Then I started spending time in the blogging world. I saw that I did not have to settle for builder basic and that we could easily infuse our style in our home affordably. All I needed "want to", which we had because we laid our own tile floors (that is a different story). So I got to work convincing my husband that painting the oak was not just OK but that painting it black would be Divine. I could not convince him to let me paint them so we hired a contractor to spray the cabinets.
To add to this Kitchen Cinderella story, DH went on an impromptu trip to the Sears scratch and dent store and got a deal he could not pass up, $1200 for the package above, (not pictured is the microwave). There is a slight dent on the left side of the fridge, but who cares. That sealed the deal, black cabinets it was. We then turned right around and sold our old set for $1100. Who passes up $100 appliances (that was a quick lesson in mommy math, more on that later).
See the finished results below.
Now I need window treatments, hardware, and pendent light above the sink. I will definitely post our finished results.
So including the appliances we remodeled our kitchen for the grand total of $950. Yes that is including the contractor.
The molding made a huge difference
I had to get the floating shelves. I will have fun adding accsories or necesities soon.
I want to paint the chairs black and I still need to recover the chairs
You can see the wood grain, but I lik e it.
