The only way Jeff and I could afford a home in San Diego was to buy a fixer. As an HGTV and DIY channel addict, the thought of buying a house and putting some elbow grease and transforming it so that it was a reflection of 'us' was very exciting to me. We loved the location of the house, the bones were good and it was bigger than most of the houses we looked at in our price range. But, it was a foreclosure and the family that lived there before us had 'questionable' taste to say the least. The former owner was a carpenter and our kitchen was a hodge podge of recycled cabinets of varying colors that he had no doubt salvaged from some of his jobs. There was a home made island and a hideous peeling paint job that one could only describe as the color of puke. Even though the kitchen was gross, I could see the potential and had a vision immediately. Last weekend we got our countertops done which was the final step in making our kitchen complete. Below are some photos that show the transformation and Jeff and I are very excited that we have 1 room in the house that is completely done and to our satisfaction. We can now move on to other things...and there are many!
We removed the hood and replaced with microwave. Notice the different color cabinets.
Puke colored paint. We replaced sink, faucet, mirror and painted walls and cabinets. Replaced the outlets as well.
After we painted cabinets, installed microwave, installed new sink and faucet.
The countertops getting refinished.
The final product!
