bought my new kitchen today!

After shopping for 2 weeks for kitchen cabinets...I got quotes from Home Depot and Lowes for $12k and $13k respectively for just the cabinets. I found a place in Providence, that is a builders supply warehouse. Anyway, Black Friday Sales was an extra -12% OFF and I got the entire kitchen PLUS the laundry room base cabinets AND this MAPLE BUTCHER BLOCK island cabinet for $6k! These are all plywood, BUT, I have to assemble the cabinets (like my I did at my house on Greenlawn)! Anyway, saved $6k! I probably won't install them until January, but could not pass up the extra discount! I had to rent a truck and pick them up today.




The photos are so you can see the COLOR and Construction DETAILS from the showroom sample display.

I am
planning on putting in Stainless Steel appliances and a TRAVERTINE tile wall behind the counters.

Now, I have to find a good deal on Granite!


OK, enough with the kitchen....now back to Dry
walling!

Thanksgiving 2009 Hanging Drywall

Here are a few interior shots of Today's episode of "This old House"! Today we are hanging drywall in the master closet. The room is 20' x 8' dormer on the front of the house. It was unfinished and unused when I bought the house. Planning on putting in 8' of wire shelving on either side carpet the floor. Also, framing the basement for the laundry room. Need to move supply and drain lines, so I can put a temporary kitchen downstairs while I remodel the Kitchen upstairs. Tomorrow, I may go buy the kitchen cabinets! Maple with a dark cinnamon finish.















This is the master bedroom...nice wall paper eh?















This is the 1st floor guest room, my temporary bedroom. The living room above.














Kitchen before remodeling...hey at least I have a refrigerator, sink and a stove!
















vintage 1950's stove! Like the floor tile? Here is the messy basement with the new shelves.















Here is the framing for the new laundry room. New cabinets counter and new floor will be going in soon! I nee a plumber to come and move the drain and supply lines.

well, there you go! I promise new photos soon!
