Eighth Kitchen Remodel Update

Things are moving along with our kitchen remodel but much slower now. My contractor has been on another job that he already had scheduled. Due to our kitchen cabinet replacements taking an additional 5 weeks, it is taking longer than expected to finish.

He was able to come all weekend and he made progress on the tedious molding work. The man is a perfectionist and he makes sure everything is installed perfectly, I love that! The paper floor covering was removed exposing the new floor.

Below is a before picture of the old molding on the kitchen window.

Here is the new frame he built and installed in white, I love it!

Look below at the top of the pantry cabinet, this is before.

Now look below at the top with the fancy molding installed. This is actually two large pantry’s side by side but with the molding it looks like one. Every upper cabinet looks like the picture below and it is so pretty!

We also had all of the brown molding and doors replaced with white ones. Below is the windows I look out daily with the old brown molding.

This is the white molding, he replaced all of the chair rail and baseboard too.

I am beyond excited with the change the white molding has made. I can’t wait to do the bedrooms too. It has completely updated this house, I couldn’t be happier!

Well, that’s it for now. There are three big changes to make yet. The ceiling needs a texture where he tore out the light and cabinets then it needs painted. A fancy molding at the bottom of the upper cabinets needs to be installed. The biggest change is the new backsplash, I can’t wait to see what that looks like.

So far I have learned you have to be patient with the chaos, expect delays and expect to pay more than your original budget. I would have been fine with my original budget but then at the last minute I added all new flooring, doors and molding in the living room and hall too. I have no regrets as it was the best decision I could have made.
