I’m participating the “Price Your Space” party that the Nester is hosting. How does this relate to family nutrition? We renovated our kitchen over the past couple of weekends. A kitchen you enjoy being in makes it MUCH more fun to plan and cook family meals. In the past week, it seems like we’ve already enjoyed more meals at the table, together, the three of us, in our new environment! Bottom line, whatever it is you’re eating, enjoy it and share with others!
Here’s what we did and an estimate of what we spent:
1) Hubby ripped off old tile and sawed off weird wood trim on cabinets. FREE
2) In order to install an above the range microwave/hood, we raised the cabinets about 6 inches. FREE
3) Painted walls Martha Stewart Soapstone Gray MS170. Sanded and painted cabinets a slightly darker, Martha Stewart Midlands Gray MS 172. Sander, Paint, brushes, and rollers etc. ~$150
4) Microwave and electrical stuff, installed by hubby. I had no idea he was handy before we got married. I’m a lucky Dietitian. ~$225. PS. Found Lowes coupon online for 10% off.
5) New ceiling light from Costco $60. The better lightening made us realize we needed a third coat of paint on the walls.
6) New pendant light from Menards $40. We could’ve waited for a lightening sale, but we wanted to finish the project.
7) Door pulls $30 total
8) Hinges and outlet covers, spray painted silver $5
9) Tile Backsplash – uggg here’s where we blew the budget. On the recommendation of the tile store, we bought X amount of supplies. We bought twice as much as we needed. Spent $450 on tiles and supplies. We do have enough to tile area of our master bath. The extras won’t go to waste.
10) We’d like a new faucet. Will probably buy one at Costco for $60, but we’re waiting a little while.
Total spent $955 on kitchen renovation
Great renovation- I really love the backsplash!
