Where’s my kitchen? Underneath all that grime! Like a diamond in the rough, we slowly chip away until the beauty is revealed. We’re getting there. Really we are!
Through sweat, a great deal of elbow grease, and a couple of asthma attacks, finally, we actually see progress.
Here are a few photos of before, during, and up-to-now. Keep in mind that the kitchen is a work in progress.
If you have any suggestions feel free to share, especially those of you who have experience in remodeling a old home like this-over 100 years old. She’s around 112 years old now.
New countertops I built.Thanks to my dear hubby for cutting all the concrete backer board and carrying it around for me. I designed the countertops, and he did the hard labor. He's a dear!
Cleaned and painted a crisp white.

project. Tiling the countertops.
Well, that's all the photos for now. I'll share more later in the week.
Special thanks to Josh
F. and Josh M. for helping so much in the kitchen remodel and elsewhere you both helped!
Blessings,

I can see a great deal of impromvement now. You do such a great job, Stephanie. It is coming together nicely. I pray your strength holds out and the pain is kept at bay while you finish it. I love beadboard & am particularly fond of that bright white paint.
ReplyDeleteWell thanks! I'm going to Venetian plaster the white above the beadboard in pale pink. The ceiling, I'm planning on painting in faux tin tiles. YouTube is full of helpful vids on faux painting techniques, as well as plastering how-tos.I'll add more photos as the remodel progresses.
