Kitchen Remodel - Project Complete!

9/2/2012

 Our plumber arrived on Monday, week 11 of our kitchen remodel, to install the sink, stove and dishwasher. We are finally finished and are moved back in! My kitchen looks and feels so different, I think I am in a new house. Was it worth it? You bet! The project cost a few thousand dollars more than when we began, but there was no question we needed replace the floor and our city required that a certified plumber bring the water and gas lines up to code. Total cost was around $21,000.00 (2012.) The cabinets including install cost about $18,000.00, the floor and trim $2000.00, and the plumber $1000.00.  The design team at Home Depot spent over 10 hours providing expert advice and guidance. They were our face-of-the-company go-to for questions and went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction from beginning to end. (Thanks Anne and team!) We did the demolition, electric work, painting, bought the hardware, arranged for the dumpster and hired our own plumber. We did not replace any appliances, lighting or the window blinds. Home Depot and Crew 2 installed the floor, trim-work and InnerMost cabinets.

kitchen remodel after. Way more work space!
I was able to move my entire pantry, which consisted of eight Rubbermaid and Sterilite bins stored in the basement, into the upper shelves and extra space in the new office center. I love the deep drawers and full extension of the silverware drawers!
