It took 3 months….. we did it ourselves and it cost 27,000$ Canadian….

Unexpected expenses: wiring that was no longer any good, having to buy more tiles, redoing the floor base to make it smooth for the new tiles (because pulling up the old ones ruined the floor underneath) and having to make a new countertop instead of just being able to relaminate the old one (the wood underneath the old laminate was rotting).

Yes… very happy with the outcome! We have just sold the house… paid it 133 500.00$ just over 5 years ago…. just sold it for 279 500.00$… I'd say that definitely covers the cost of the kitchen renovation!

I noticed that they no longer have the drawers under the counter for linens, doillies and silver. Do people still use linens or is that out of date as well?

This is an amazing transformation. The corner sink is a great idea and the kitchen looks so much bigger and lighter than before. Great job!

Most electrical contractors charge a minimum of $350-$600 per job. If the electrical breaker box is near the kitchen then the minimum charge may cover the whole job. If wires need to be run a long way to get to the kitchen, then the charge could be much more.

It seems to be out of style.

I agree, the pale yellow sounds nice. But if the color concerns you, try a pale yellow with a bit more earthy brown tones in it. When you look at your paint samples, you will see the pure yellows that are crisp in color and you will see the more muted yellows. Try out a couple of the more muted yellows.

Also, go ahead and collect samples of what you want to eventually do in your home, like the granite color. This will help to cordinate everything as you go.

Also the paint stores sell small quart and smaller samples of paint that you can test out colors to see if you like them. I love these. You can buy several colors, paint them side, by side and then make a final decision.

Well, the Victorian one we have is splendid. With the 9-foot ceilings, you really don’t see it. On summer days, it is really pleasant as it keeps you cool as you work.
