It’s done!  I could tweak it forever, but all of the hard stuff is done.  Thank you so much for sticking by me as I posted yet another step in my makeover, but I wanted to be sure to capture everything along the way.



I had to include some before and after pictures, of course. Moving the fridge to where my desk used to be really opened up the space.





I left most of my receipts at work, so I don’t have a cost breakdown, but I was not able to buy a new fridge as planned, but soon very soon :) 

I am sure I have not gone over $2,000.00. Here is a breakdown of where I spent that money

new subfloor and Allure vinyl flooring after removing 5 layers of flooring

new microwave

new countertops

new cabinets where the fridge used to be

new pantry door

new lighting

new backsplash

new cabinet handles

new to me chairs

paint, brushes, rollers, new skill saw, new circular saw, wood and moulding and innumerable trips to big orange.

 

This was the biggest project I’ve taken on yet, and I’m so glad it’s over. No more thinking about what colours to paint, what backsplash to go with, what flooring, how to install counters, how to install cupboards; it was a whole lot of thinking and a little less doing. LOL.

 

And now some gratuitous photos because I’m just so proud of getting this huge task done.

 

Thanks again for sticking with me throughout this process, and for your sweet comments that encouraged me along the way.

I will post later on the details of what products I used and how I solved issues that came up along the way.
