Minimalist Kitchen Renovation - Update

Since my last kitchen reno post I've decided to become a lot more hands-on in our kitchen renovations.  I've managed to install the baseboards, do some basic carpentry to finish up the cabinets, painted the cabinets and installed new drawer/door pulls.



Kitchen Reno update

 

Learning some basic carpentry skills

 

 

Last week-end I ordered a laminate countertop which should be installed in about a month.  We bought a new kitchen sink and faucet.  The sink and faucet feel like a little splurge, as I had thought I'd reuse the old ones but recently my veggie sprayer broke (yay!) and I managed to rationalize a new sink as well.  Once the countertop is installed we can finish off the backsplash and the trim around the windows.



Having full countertops will be so nice.

A little bonus has been realizing that a wooden buffet that we were given last year will fit perfectly under the kitchen windows to create a window seat.  We tried it out last weekend.  With a couple of layers of quilts and some throw pillows, it became the most coveted seat in the house.  I'm currently deciding what to do about the finish; it is very glossy dark wood.  I need to decide on the look I want for it.

I can finally see some light at the end of this renovation tunnel.

Thank you for visiting My Turquoise Kettle Life today.

May this day be full of happiness,
