We quadrupled our cupboard space and added all stainless appliances. Sorry for the pictures as it’s hard to get good ones being such a tiny kitchen. It’s only 11.5 x 11.5. ---

> [@Carnut](#): > > Did you DIY or hire a contractor? We did as much as possible by ourselves. It was actually a good learning experience and quality time together. Floor tiling was easy as can be. Filling where the door to the basement used to be was a cake walk as I did drywall for a living at one point. Plumbing wise not much had to be moved. Countertops were done by Sortie Creations. Color is Wilsonart HD Bella Noche with a beveled edge. Cabinets were purchased from Grossmans. Back splash hasn’t been a big ordeal either. If you can lay a floor you can do a backsplash. It is quite nice to be adding value to a home we have been in for only a year. We have 2/3 major rooms done now. Master was done the day we moved in. Kitchen is now done. Next step is to hire Xander to come and build me a bathroom. 😉 ---

Any more closeups of that counter? Yours looks similar to mine, with the beveled edge, but I love that laminate color. Wilsonart HD is very good stuff. ---
