Kitchen Update!

 

The kitchen needed new appliances and a fresh coat of paint just to make it livable.  I can't wait to change out the countertops, add tin to the ceiling and/or backsplash and decorate it.

 

 

 

 

Based on the hinges, I think the original hardware was copper.  It looks like someone spray painted them silver.

 

 

 

Bathroom Renovation!

The bathroom needed some serious help! Before and after pics below.

 

The bathroom needed just about everything to make it livable. 

New tub surround and fixtures were a must.

 

The flooring and cabinetry were both in good condition.

A new toilet was first on the list!

Additional wiring had to be installed for the new light fixtures.



We chose exterior lighting from Lowes.

While our contractor was replacing the tub surround, a cat jumped out from behind the tub.  He decided to remove the tub to see how it was gaining access to the inside of the house.  As you can see, the subfloor was almost nonexistent.  What a mess!  A new subfloor was installed along with all new Pex plumbing throughout the cabin.

The job took longer than expected so we could only make a day trip to see the progress.

What a difference!

Rather than replacing the drywall, we chose to install cedar planks to cover the settling cracks.



We purchased the faux wood blinds from Home Depot.

We replaced the hardware with what was originally there.
