SPICE UP MY KITCHEN

One of our favorite shows on HGTV, is Spice Up My Kitchen. We love the transformations. This is a glimps of our transformation. Oh, In case you may not know, we purchased a foreclosure in January, we just moved in 2 weeks ago. It has taken a little under 8 weeks to redo all of the flooring in the whole house, paint every wall and ceiling, and to SPICE UP MY KITCHEN!!! We are so excited about all of the hard work that has gone into it. I am grateful for all of the help, the contractors, electricians and of course Justin.. the Demo man, Justin the plumber, Justin the electrician (installing about 15 new light fixtures), Justin the appliance installer, Justin the painter and oh yeah, Justin the Dentist, Father, and Husband. :)


Here is the BEFORE:
Here is the AFTER:

AFTER:


We added a wall, New tile floors, took out the ceiling and drop lighting to add recess and under cabinet lighting. We also added New cabinets, new paint, new appliances, Tumbled slate backsplash, granite sink, new faucet, disposal, and of course new Quartz countertops. We are so excited with the final product. We have changed this entire house, it cracks me up. Brayden used to call it the YUCKY house, and now it is the BEAUTIFUL house.

If I weren't trying so hard to be happy with what I have, I'd be darn jealous! My kitchen needs a big-time make-over, but since that is not an option right now, I'll just have to be happy for you. It is beautiful!

You guys did GREAT!!! I am impressed! I know Joe is going to be so proud. Oh yeah ... you never got to see our own transformation! I can't believe you have been gone so long .... I am excited for you!

BJS said...

Awesome!

You know we have become old and domesticated when I say:
I am jealous of your kitchen, man!

But it's true. That's great -- I want a kitchen like that!

We're happy for you guys in the new place.

Nice work Justin! Looks like u should be ready for another vacation to southern Cal lol

Justin & Erin Linton Family said...

I guess I made a mistake in my blog. I think I mislead you all to think we did all the work... Okay, don't be fooled. This is Justin and Erin you are talking about... All we did was pick everything out, DEMO, paint, installed appliances, and the fixture, disposal, plumbing and the backsplash. Sorry about that,

Kyle, Tiffany, and Kaiden said...

I love the backsplash. Looks like you guys are doing great. Great job!
