Kitchen remodel-lower cabinets

Well, here we are. Though the lowers are not 100% done, it's time to at least give you an update and show you the new granite! Wahoo!


Before:

After:
(You can see the side of the cabinets where I still need to paint, etc,)

Before:
(Also notice the top "drawer" just to the left of the oven. It has hinges on the bottom. It used to be that you would open that little "door" and pull out the breadboard. So weird.)
After:
(I countersunk some screws in the front of that drawer/door thingy and spackled over them so now there is no weird door. You just pull the handle and it is directly attached to the breadboard. In this picture the spackle is still drying and hadn't been sanded or finished yet.)

Notice the false front drawers under the old sink. While I was at it, I turned them into tilt-out drawers and added cup pulls to them too. So much more useful!


I still need to finish the side and back of the peninsula. That is a post for next week. Then they will be 100% done! I am super happy. The room is SOOOO much brighter, cleaner, and sparkly.

Future plans: Find some tile for the backsplash. Oh, and learn how to actually do the tile.
