ILSnwdog Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 My new kitchen is finished. This is the kitchen when we moved in last May: Then my buddy who is a contractor helped me rip out the old cabinets. We had one hell of a bond fire the next week. We got it down to the subfloor and drywall. Then we had a flooring guy come in and replace the hideous ceramic tile from 1975 with real hardwood. Then we got new cabinets and appliances (except the dishwasher. It was a newer Bosch). Then came the granite counter tops. Finally, last week it was painted, and over the weekend, my in-laws helped me put the tile backsplash up. What a job! I'm sore today. Here is the finished product. So, how did we do? 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a kegerator for Christmas. I have beer on tap!Yeah you told me about that. So it's a permanent feature in your kitchen? I wasn't sure if it was just a gadget type thing that you might not use after a while. Obviously I underestimated your beer capacities! :smoke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She got the wine cooler for Christmas, and I got the kegerator. The red thingie is a Jelly Belly dispenser. I have three kids. ;) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catherine Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Very nice! Love the way it's divided in the middle with a walk through. Was it like that before? It's hard to tell from the original picture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you use to cut those little tiles? Did you have a wet saw?I tore out the old kitchen and installed all new drywall and floor tile. Had the pros install the cabinets and backsplash. I have a very difficult kitchen. I have a 120 and 135 degree turn in one wall that was very tough on the cabinets. They did have a wet saw out front. The tiles come in 12"x12" sheets.

Looks like I have a slightly smaller kitchen so was able to get it done for around $20,000. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
