Looks Great, we need a home improvement sub section.
You need some stainless appliances now. Why didnt you get a undermount sink? I just sold stainless fridge that would have been perfect for ya.

Btw Fry, those stained wood cabinets look awesome! granite counter top?
nice. SS appliances would look sweet with that setup.
i wasn’t sure how those cabinets were going to look. they look great! very nice.
wow, you did not fuck around! good job, that looks incredible!
You have no taste.
Fantastic upgrade Fry, really well done.
x’s 2 , it wasnt horrible but the old one doesnt even compare in the slightest bit
nice work :tup:
Nice work Fry.
Awesome job :tup:
i really like this jim… about what did it run you if you dont mind…
:tup: very nice. Im not sure about the floor color though.
Nice, hard work pays off in the end :tup: looks good man
nice work fry :tup:
man those cabinets before are likely the worst cabinets I have ever seen!
All of these kitchen remodel threads make me wish i didn’t have a new kitchen so i could remodel it
Does the room feel about 7" smaller? Or can you not notice?
I have a new respect for you. Very nice work.
Anyone looking to do house mods should really study what he did here.
Key things - New floor on top of clean Sub floor not old floor. Cabinets hung on framework not sheetrock. The topper is he torn it down until he could not get anything else out. Gloves are always a good idea during demo work.

If we were staying long enough to make it worthwhile we would, but we’ll be moving within a year or two. With that in mind, we were trying to keep the colors as neutral as possible.
Kraftmaid Pewter Glaze. Got em for a steal at the outlet in Ohio. $2900 for 18 cabinets. Soft touch drawers, Maple, etc. Probably $15-20k if I had custom ordered them from Lowes.
Just keeping it cheap. Moving to a nicer house within a year or two.
Laminate. Wilsonart HD. Only cost $850.
Yeah my wife is the decorator, so she came up with some colors that kept the gray cabinets pretty neutral looking.
Cabinets, countertop, floor, lighting, sink, faucet, etc, came to a touch under $8k.
I can barely fit my ego through the doorway now. It sucks.
I was sitting on my ass slapping mortar on tiles and handing them to her. I made her do the drywall mudding too because I hate it. :tup:
For those who liked the old cabinets, yeah the knotty pine style was OK but after 50 years of abuse they were nasty. They weren’t built well to begin with, the shelves were falling apart, the doors were warped, etc.
Thanks for the compliments/input/critique. :tup:
Haha, i was being serious! Because before there were no studs, right? So 2 x 3.5" (2x4) = 7"
thats great… and the 8 ish is not bad at all … resale value im sure went up about 15k
but there was like 1"x2" on the wall first so i say about 5.5" smaller… but you are right
