I wanted to remodel my kitchen within 10k budget including appliances
l mainly wanted to replace the counter and bar now made with white tiles
(the sink is now facing the counter bar and breakfast nook); replace the
backsplash which is now just painted white with stainless steel or
decorated tiles; level down the bar to the sink level and make the widened
counter as the new eatery;get rid of my breakfast nook table, and refinish
or paint cabinets.The total length of my kitchen from the back of the
refrigerator to the wall where the breakfast nook window is 18.25 feet. Had anyone done something similar to this in a very tight budget?Could you please provide pointers?Thank you.
I redid my kitchen last year. We painted the ugly 70 is
cabinets a creamy white and distessed them. Then I put new knobs on the
doors. We put a new floor down (vinyl tiles), got a new sink and faucet,
new counter top, put wainscoting on the walls under all the cabinets and I
think that is all. I did this all for under $800. I got the sink, faucet,
& cabinet hardware from ebay and saved a fortune. Good luck. Shop around.
You can do it for a lot less than $10G. Kelli
Yes, replaced my countertops, sink, faucet disposal and
dishwasher. Go to lowes - or google LG solid surfaces. it is an awesome
product and is much better than granite. For installation and everything
including new hardware for my cabinets and those above mentioned
appliances was 7000.00
We just redid our whole house on an even smalller budget than
yours, & I have all kinds of ideas. Lowe is has pre-made cabinets in all
different shapes & sizes for about a 1/4 of the price of custom made
cabinets. Also instead of using ceramic tiles, you can get vinyl tiles
with adhesive backing that work just as well & are alot cheaper. If you
use these, you don't have to pull out tiles or anything, you can just
cover what is already up there just make sure & use a thick grout as extra adhesive or they won't stick. You can find these at Home Depot or Lowe is or even Big Lots or the local dollar store. Just whatever you do make sure & buy a box more than you think you will need in case they discontinue they style (experience taught me that). When painting, the more expensive paint is not always better than the cheaper paint. The best paint I found came from Ace Hardware & looked alot better than Behar paint. The Behar paint also chipped alot easier. This will also save you alot of money in the long run. As for appliances, you can find ur smaller appliances such as microwave & what not at Wal-Mart. For ur bigger appliances, you can get a roll of stick on paper similar to wallpaper that looks like stainless steel. You just cut it to cover the sides of ur refrigerator & stove & put it on. then you only have to buy new handles for ur refrigerator to match. If you want to you can email me if you have any more questions throughout the process. We just finished our kitchen & it took us a year because we were on a paycheck to paycheck budget.
