Day three of seven on our Christmas vacation. Another project started (adding to the numerous unfinished ones) but one worthy of starting this blog. The dreaded kitchen remodel. Living with the Honey Oak kitchen from hell, we could no longer could take it and decided to use our time off to do something about it.
BEFORE (yuck):
Since we couldn't afford a kitchen remodel by a licensed contractor (aka not your local mexican. I can say this cause we are.....and everyone we know is mexican). We figured we could do it economically (six packs and burritos) but also make a grand kitchen.
Our wish list consists of dark glazed full faced solid wood cabinets, Caesarstone quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and tiled backsplash. We checked out our options from Home Depot and our trusty friend Ikea.
WANTS (ooh la la):
After the realization the countertops alone were going to cost $3000 (mmm but aren't they yummy!) ... Houston we have a problem!
Since we are on a limited budget, we decided to make some cuts and dive into this project DIY style.
**A little background on Mr. and Mrs. Q. Mrs Q is handy with a brush, willing to take on any project and is over ambitious in starting them. Mr Q is handy once he gets going, and if giving the opportunity to purchase a new tool, will start any project Mrs. Q decides on. Although finishing it is whole another story, for another post.
