How I Remodeled My Kitchen

Every woman loves to have her perfect kitchen. My husband and I both do the cooking for the family and having a workable kitchen is a must for the both of us. Together we have 5 children and it seems like dinnertime can be such a chore. Making the kitchen organized and having the room needed to cook meals is a must for us!

With one of the first homes we purchased, the kitchen was a disaster! The floors were ripped out, the cabinets were hung crooked so the doors would not open without hitting the ceiling. They had a place to put a dishwasher but didn't allow enough room for it. We did not have the money to redo an entire kitchen but needed to make it workable. Our budget was very slim so we had to make changes that would make the kitchen look more modern but remain within our budget. Here is the before picture:

We also had a bare space for the stove but we needed more cabinets for the area to complete the look we were going for.

We took all the cabinets out

We changed the paint from white to light beige and the trim was done in white. We rehung the cabinets to become level and added handles on the cabinet doors.

The dishwasher was a must for this house, so we took out a bottom cabinet and aligned the cabinets to look even and added a dishwasher with a fake end cabinet.

The flooring we searched on Craigslist to find someone in our area who happened to be selling flooring for the price we could afford.

Beside the stove, we added two cabinets that someone was selling on Craigslist and painted them white to match the others. The finished kitchen ended up costing us $300 and two weeks worth of work. I was very pleased!
