laying down on the job figuring out how to hook up the drain

 

Kitchen renovation November 2020 year of the COVID

These photos are not in chronological order but this first photo is the last one taken

the new gas stove ready to be hooked up

I made dividers after we chose the most used utensils top drawer

Ready for drawer pulls

Painted the carcass

Ended up painting the white plug to match the cupboard

Adding the shaker front trim

The dishwasher used to be here so we gained an entire cabinet

Finished utility cupboard formerly an open coat closet
and before that NOTHING dead useless space

utility cupboard

What is with all of this chaos?!

Is supper ready?

Ready for the pulls

Old white stove sold for $100

Ready for pulls

top drawer

second drawer

food storage containers

most important popcorn prep,  panini maker and waffle maker

Kathy created spice jars with blackboard paint lids

2 drawers of spices

coffee and tea drawer

baking pans

dead corner filled with an angled
divided box for cookie sheets, pizza stone and muffin tins

reorganized under the sink

the shaker look complete except for the pulls

new gas stove pushed in but not hooked up yet

pulls installed and cabinets ready for touch ups

obviously need to reinstall magnetic closures

our new lovely dishwasher

attaching drawer fronts

ready for paint

love the full extension drawer glides

Kathy is hanging on to her butcher block top

Before the new paint

secret door with no pull

applying the shaker trim

closer look at the trim

worked bottom to top used paint stir sticks for spacers

finished butcher block with 3 coats satin varathane

always a work in progress

removed all drawers to work on them

getting things back in place

Monty hope I get done soon

the new dishwasher was too high so we raised the entire counter to add 1x4's

then the dishwasher will fit but the sink needed to come out first

and the floor heat vent and sink vent needed to be moved

chaos in the dining room

chaos in the living room

by this time we know the dishwasher will fit

raising the 3 part counter worked after we removed all the ceramic tiles yay new tiles!

we could only have a gas stove if we had 18" clearance. Some cupboards had to be butchered

the width is fine the height not so much

covered up the heat vent

now how to cut these cupboards?

removed the stiles and replaced them later

where do we get meals prepped?

note the chisel

the microwave will go here and free up counter space

doors need to come off first

Kathy is happy with the new location for the microwave

now the mic will fit

testing yes it's a good location

small subway tiles suit us

chaos is part of the job

gluing tiles down

I rented a power tile cutter and loved using it 

a ledger board helps for first row

like a puzzle

only one way to get into the corner

another angle

time to grout and seal

yeh dishwasher is in and we did not need the plumber

at this point we decided we needed a stainless fan instead of the white one

stainless fan installed no electrician required

now we just need the new stove

deciding paint colors with a swatch

deciding where to put stuff
