Kitchen Remodel..1960’s

We bought this little house a year ago, in a 55plus community. the kitchen was very small and closed in,hubs had to promise,written in blood,we would open it up. Now,this is not a 500$ fix,nor 2500$ fix. Everything had to go,except for the appliances. Which I had wished the previous owners had just left alone. These are soooo cheaply made. Anyway,we got a designer at HD..worked with her for a few months in

Very old and very tight. Laminate as a backsplash, both arms extended across was the size.

Took the walls out,refinished wood floors,added new wood floor in kitchen.

Totally opened up into living room,now I can be part of jeopardy and wheel!🤗

This is one of the best things...very wide drawers instead of the 5 18-20 inches. These are 30? Anyway..if you do nothing else,get very wide drawers,everything goes into 2 -3 drawers and everything has a very tidy space of its own. Sooo easy to find whatever. I was very hesitant about only 3 drawers as opposed to 5 smaller ones! But this is the best,

We spent a bit on the hardware..that is the jewelry for the room! Worth it!

The island is movable,and has huge drawers for pots,pans,plastic ware..and a garbage pullout! Awesome. No more bending!

So there you have it. It’s not perfect..that’s because we did not want to move plumbing or electrical. But that’s ok! 🤗😽 thanks for looking!

I have a question about the new wood floor. How did you get it to blend with the previous wood floor?

  He also used different woods on the floor to replicate the varieties that were already there.
