Before
Our Design Plan
Our design plan included butcher block counter tops, subway tile back splash, refacing and painting the cabinetry, and an apron front sink. We decided not to carry the blue wall color from the living room into the kitchen, and went with a neutral gray instead.
We expanded a doorway...
ripped out the old counter tops...
installed a recessed light above the kitchen sink...
stained, sealed and installed butcher block counters and a new sink...
installed cabinet organizers...
and a subway tile back splash...
refaced and painted the cabinetry...
and painted the walls.

You guys are amazing - that kitchen looks like it should be in a magazine!
ReplyDeleteWow! That is quite the stunning transformation!
ReplyDeleteAmazing!! It looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful! Any words of wisdom on how you undermounted your Domsjo sink?
ReplyDeleteThanks! Just make sure you reinforce the cabinet the sink will be sitting on, because the Domsjo is heavy! We reinforced both sides of the cabinet on the inside with vertical boards. We also had to cut a notch in the top of the cabinet so the sink could rest below the countertop.
DeleteI want to do it the same way, with the back ledge not covered by countertop. I'll also be making additional holes for a soap dispenser, airgap, and airswitch for the disposal. Does having the ledge uncovered present any problems or bother you in any way? We're getting Caesarstone quartz countertops. Thank you so much for responding.
DeleteI haven't had any problems with it. Just make sure you caulk really well around the edges. We used a silicone caulk made especially for wet areas. Good luck with your kitchen remodel. I'd love to see pictures when you're done!
