Today i am pondering the fact that my kitchen is driving me nuts !!. This house was built in the 50's and i think i have the original cabinetry if not they are no newer than early 70.s!!
In the past 19 years we have lived here we have fake stained them to look like a dark wood ( some of the doors are a laminate so cant stain ) - then did a county style white washing of them - painted them a tannish mauvey pink and now i want to do something new . We took an old upper cabinet from my mom when she redid her kitchen - hung it in mine and painted to match ( when we did the mauve-y paint job ) - cant beat a free cabinet !!!
Of course ripping them out and putting in a whole new kitchen seems the "thing to do" around my area - because resale wise you get more bang for your buck BUT we have no intentions of selling anytime soon and don't have enough bucks to bang to do that LOL !!
So my goal is to see if i can paint the cabinets - get new hardware for them - repair the damages area in the floor- recover the L shaped bench seat - sand and repaint or re stain the kitchen table and a few other misc things for under 100$
I would love to redo the counter top we had it put in almost 20 years ago and its just a tan - now stained and scratched in some places counter top . Not sure what to do that would withhold the work that gets done on it - tiles wont work because it curves up and then down in front in a way that is supposed to keep drips from going onto the floor ( note i said " supposed to" LOL !!) so counter top will just stay the same for now unless someone can point me to a frugal way of fixing that too !!!!
We will see ..... the wheels are going in my mind ...look out ....but i will post pix and the final tally when its done !!
