Kitchen Remodel (before and after)
Comments (2)There only seems to be one photo in the link? Not sure if this is the before, or the After? More photos and some explanation of what you did would be helpful. :)...See MoreKitchen Remodel Finally Complete....Before and After
Comments (55)Quick update... I ended up ordering a spoon and fork from Target.com. Here's a pic of it installed on the back wall. Also finished up installing my DIY under cabinet lighting... these lights are bright!!!! So glad I used a dimmer switch...this is the dimming level I tend to keep it at. Also forgot to mention that one of the pantries is a broom closet. After living in my new kitchen for almost of month now, I feel like I got everything right and did the best I could with the space I have. Trash cabinet, baking tray cabinet, broom closet, sink drop down tray, spice rack, plus all of the additional cabinet space makes me one happy camper. :) My only regret is not putting in pull outs for my pots/pans and lids. It's a bit of a pain having to bend down and look back into the cabinet to find what I'm looking for. Maybe at a later time... since it's still possible. Another thing I'm finding an issue with is our fridge. We bought a counter depth so we could have additional room, but it's been tough living with the limited space. Luckily, we still have our old fridge, so we're thinking of keeping it now to store larger items....See MoreSmall 1950's Master Bath Remodel
Comments (12)Superb! Love the homage to the original, and (I mean this in the best way possible) your remodel looks as if the bath was always there. Beautifully fitted into the vibe of the place. Would you share details? (BTW - love the new home you found for those three art pieces - perfect complement to the Turkish tile!) Cheers!...See More1950s ranch home - 1st kitchen remodel layout help
Comments (3)For budget reasons, you probably should not move appliances very far. My first thought would be something like the following (hope it is legible). This maximizes counterspace, which may or may not be what you most desire. To maximize storage, the pantry is full-height, and around 15-18 inches deep. It would hold much more than just upper cabinets. You did not show a photo of your buffet window, but I am guessing that you might need to raise the window sill, which could be a big budget item....See Morea Hef
