Remodeling

So, its been over two years since we've lived in our condo. Before we moved in we had to repaint the ENTIRE place, put in new ceiling fans, redo the bedroom vanity, install new outlets/outlet covers, repaint the kitchen cabinets, install a new floor in the den, and completely gut and redo the bathroom. Why you ask? Because the person that lived there before us was older and I don't think had ever repainted, except of course to paint over most of the outlets. Or had done anything in the bathroom because the vanity was rotting and the tub no longer had a finish. Oh, and her cats peed all over then carpet in the den, hence why we had to redo the floor in there.

Anyways, the kitchen was also in dier need of a remodel also. The bathroom was in worse condition, and we could only do one as money was tight. So I settled with updating the cabinet hardware, painting the cabinets and scraping the "popcorn" from the ceiling to at least sprucen it up a bit. This is what it kind of looked like before:

I have better pics somewhere but I think they are on another computer. Just imagine a kitchen from the early 70's, that had never been remodeled in nearly 40 years. That was my kitchen.

Last summer I got a call from my grandparents. They were going to completely remodel their kitchen and wanted to know that if their old cabinets would fit into my kitchen, if we'd want them? Ummmm heck yes! So in January, we completely gutted everything and this is what the final product is:

We could not be more happier. A big THANK YOU to everyone who made this possible and helped us out when we needed it. We couldn't have done it without you.
