We're doing a kitchen remodel at Darren's house so I decided to dust off the old blog to use as a place to post the progress.
First, back story. Thanksgiving 2009, we decided to put new grout down on the counter top tiles. The prep area went great and the new grout looked fantastic! We started to take out the grout near the sink, and the tiles just popped off. Apparently the water had rotted the grout and the tile glue.
This started a debate as to whether we should just glue the tile back down, or get new counter tops. New counter tops won out. A new debate began. Should we get new cabinets or just put new counter tops on the existing cabinets? New cabinets won. The bottoms of a couple of cabinets were rotting through so this was probably a wise decision. Yet, another debate arose. Should we put down new floor tile during all of this as the current tile is old and chipped and makes the floor appear perpetually dirty? Why yes. Yes we should. Quite a bit of research later and we're moving on with the remodel.
Let's start with some before pictures.
This is the view of the dining room and part of the kitchen from the front door. Note where the fridge is currently as well as the cabinets that extend to part of the dining room.
This picture is taken from the other side of the fridge towards the back door. Not the cleanest the kitchen has ever looked but it gives you the idea of the layout.
This is a view from the back door area looking towards the fridge. You can kind of see the bare wood where the sink is. Also note the cabinets at the back which are currently next to the fridge. We are considering a change to the layout.
That's all for the before section! Next: Progress!
