Ok then. Long overdue and time to get rid of these eye sores. Plastic laminate particle wood cabinets installed in 1979 when this place was new... YUCK
Focusing on above the stove and the corner to the right...
Very attractive. Right? Started by labeling the doors and painting the inside of the raw particle wood cabinets with Kilz.
Pretty much the same as it was when it was built in 1979. Previous owners did nothing to improve the place... So with a very limited budget, lots of motivation and just enough talent to be dangerous the renovation process begins.
Here you can get clear shot of the inside...
Laborious process and then noticed the cabinets were really not in good shape. Enough was enough. They could not be salvaged.
Could not believe there were no studs behind the wall to support the "newer" cabinets... Had to install a few supports and braces.
Decided to refinish the cabinets going in by spray painting and glazing.
Populated a blank wall with this arrangement as a work station.
Same work station from a different angle.
Finally ann the uppers completed. More to follow over the weekend.
Enjoyed the project?
