About This Remodel

Very small budget. We did almost all the work ourselves, including design and building the barstool, table/chairs and bench. We painted existing cabinets and added new cabinets and quartz countertops (no granite!! with wine rack for extra space and storage. It's part of an overall total house remodel, so we maintained the exposed, stained concrete floors throughout (very easy to clean. Cheerful, Earthtone colors with accent match the rest of the house. We just wanted it to look less "Kitcheny".

I love the expanded countertop. The gravel inside is interesting, hard to clean with kids and food; but it's really cool and very Frank Lloyd Wright. It's fabulous how you did the lighting area above, with the faux windows. Makes me wish I had that in my house so I could try it.
I don't care for the plate rack, I think it brings the ceiling down and makes it look smaller.
