I figured I would start a new post for all our kitchen chat! We are doing the work ourselves. We didn't install our cabinets, my parents have a friend that is a contractor and he did them for us for cheap. We have done pretty much everything else. My dad is an electrician so he did all the new lighting and added some outlets for me. Lance and I did the backsplash and the painting, we will be doing to trim work also. We have a good friend that lays tile, so he and Lance will be doing the floor.
Here is what we have so far (please excuse the mess, it is looking rather "lived in" today).
Here is one side:

And the other

The sink area

My shelf that I love
just haven't put anything on it yet...

And, you must kiss the cook ![]()
Re: Kitchen Update for Miss Megan!
Thanks! I love it! I don't know what it looked like before, but everything looks really great! The wine rack and hardware on the cabinets are fantastic, and I'm still loving the backsplash. I also like the faucet you guys chose...the height makes it look really great in front of the backsplash.
I'm kind of jealous that you have so many friends/family that can help out as experts in different areas!

How lovely! I especially like the wine rack above the sink!

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermI think that the cabinet space is deceiving. We do have a lot more than we did because we used to have the wasted space at the top of the cabinets that is framed in and then the cabinets are attached to it, I don't know the technical name for it. Anyway, we knocked all that out so the cabinets can go all the way to the ceiling now.
We added more drawers but since we didn't have much space they are really small (narrow) and there isn't a lot of room in them, but we didn't have much more to work with.
The backsplash was super easy and relatively cheap, I think it made the remodel. I don't think that it would have looked as good without the backsplash.
