Kitchen Remodel- Part 1

Our new kitchen is a major upgrade from our old house. There is a plethora of cabinets, a pantry, and an island!!! But, the look is boring, and the island is not very helpful. It doesn’t have seating!

So we looked into extending the island and adding seating…… but with granite that was going to be at least 2k! This thrifty mom was not about to drop that kind of money. So, we looked into a wood table extension. It was less then a quarter of the cost, and I LOVE the look! We found a small local company to build it. We now have extra counter space AND seating!

My husband and I removed the old granite counter top ourselves. I’m all about reusing what you can, so we attached it to our outdoor coffee table, and it fits perfectly! Now we have a beautiful granite coffee table AND a great new kitchen island for under $500! Nailed it!

Phase 2 will be changing the color of the cabinets…. I want teal, hubby wants, well, he wants NOT teal. We will see what we come up with. I’m sure that project will involve lots of cursing…… might need a video for that project!
