New kitchen (post calf in kitchen) and other improvements

[GLENMAR]

Lost the microwave. Don't miss it really. I love the hood. Under the floor was plywood them they put that heavy stone board. I can't remember what it's called. I love the pot filler. Mine is on an outside wall too. I already had an outside hose faucet on that side, so I knew there was a water line.

How's this for a close up. LOL. These were 16x16 inch tile sheets that interlocked.
Not sure what was going on by that light fixture, but it has been fixed since this photo was taken.
The marble is the "knot" and the gray glass is in between.

Just so you know, should you hear any noise some night and find your kitchen is gone, vanished, just a whole in your wall... do not jump to any conclusion about kitchen envy and come looking at my place. Just saying.

Seriously, well done, real nice!

 

[GLENMAR]

Ha. All we did was pick out the cabinet design. Left everything else to the experts. We did install the backsplash ourselves to save $$

What is it like to have the experts do it? The heck with kitchen envy, I have laborer envy. In my 35 year marriage we have hired a professional to do electrical in a house we were building, (should have done it ourselves and hired the plumbing done), install solar panels, install a gunite pool, install seamless rain gutters, install cement slab for a garage, and install an AC unit on the roof (it leaked). Lowes and Home Depot are my weekend hangout. Oh, I do hire carpet installed. There isn't a whole lot of anything we haven't tackled.

Alright ya'll, ya'll heard @GLENMAR .......if you want a kitchen remodel, you first have to raise a calf in your kitchen! Then the baby calf fairy and the kitchen fairy have a conference and decide that you deserve a NEW KITCHEN!

Wow, Glenmar! That is gorgeous!

I'm with @animalmom - kitchen envy! We were going to do a total remodel in our kitchen. Bought IKEA cabinets & birch butcherblock to do a large island, which isnt finished yet. Then medical bills happened & now we can't afford the rest of the kitchen.

We already had 2 nice deep, stainless steel sinks, and 2 nice brushed nickle faucets with sprayers. So, at least that will be updated.

We have to replace the badly done ceramic countertop & backsplash. The plan was to use a white marble. But now, to keep cost down we are going to continue with birch butcher block countertop. The backsplash is going to be a beautiful blue, glass, subway tile. Oh, and we are going to paint the cabinets to pull it all together with the IKEA island.
