Kitchen Cabinets Updated With Moulding

We had some water damage in our kitchen caused by our dishwasher. Unfortunately, with our high deductible and a lot of insurance mumbo jumbo, we weren't left with a lot of money for ...»
repairs. But, I'm not complaining! We made the most of our estimate! We found a great deal on flooring and were able to update our cabinets with moulding. The process was long, but worthwhile and I'm excited to show you the updates that were made!

Our friend came over with his Skilsaw and made all the cuts for moulding and flooring. While my husband and I did all the painting.
