Kitchen Remodel Kitchen Remodel Kitchen Remodel Click the pictures to enlarge them

I took on a total remodel of a 2300 sq. ft. home by myself. The kitchen as you can see was a disaster, the owner was delighted with the end results and the cost was much lower than he had expected. He was told the cabinets needed to be replaced.
I on the other hand took a look at them and said “Wait I think we can work with them.” the cabinets took alot of work to get the pounds of grease off, but the finish protected the wood from getting grease soaked and with a bit of elbow grease and a tun of sanding and refinishing I think they turn out nice w/o replacing them.
Thanks for looking.
Jim

Great job! The before pics look a lot like ours did. I can appreciate the amount of work that goes into a kitchen.

Nice work Jim. I have been looking at foreclosure houses the last few weeks, and that is the way some of the kitchens look. Nice to see a before and after to see what was accomplished. Well done.

How long did it take you to complete the make over?

That’s amazing! I always have believed that evebody can do lots of things with money…....but the trully mastership is when somebody makes nice things like this project keeping the costs low and re-using preexisting elements. What a nice and wise job!
