My home was built in 1977. I love it and together with my family we have made some great memories over the past two years. But if there's one thing we could change, it would be the kitchen:
It's old. It's outdated. The fridge seems like an afterthought and it isn't a good use of space. And my biggest pet peeve - we do not even have a dishwasher! Ugh. What a pain it's been to wash all my dishes in the sink.
My husband and I decided it was time. We had to renovate.
Our list of wants:
- A dishwasher (stainless steel inside and out. A thing of beauty)
- Glass backsplash (we like greys and blues and wanted a little splash of colour)
- Undermount sink (I refused to listen when the Home Depot said it couldn't be done with a laminate countertop)
Jacquie designed our new kitchen layout. We set a budget. I price matched on Black Friday to get some great deals on new appliances. We did the research and got cabinet quotes from six different cabinet makers (and yes - custom cabinets really are cheaper than stock cabinets) before choosing Elite Kitchens in Weyburn. We got quotes from an electrician and a plumber. We looked at handles, backsplashes, countertops and paint. And then my talented husband did all the work.
Bippity Boppity Boo!
It's not finished yet. Roger still needs to do the crown molding, light rail, toe kick, change out the light, finish the trim, put up curtains, and add the glass backsplash. But it's an amazing transformation and I couldn't be more excited. Probably should have cleaned off my fridge for the photo, but it works anyway.
Did I mention I have the best husband?
Welcome to my dream kitchen. You are welcome anytime!
Melanie
