The Sister’s House–Kitchen Progress

17 July 2012 11 Comments

We spent the weekend at my Sister’s house!  She is making great progress on her whole house but her kitchen in particular is plugging right along.  Check out what it looked like when she first closed.LH KITCHEN BEFOREAnd take a look at how far it has come.  The cabinets have been removed, the wall to the right has been taken down, the tile has been ripped up and a new plywood subfloor has been installed!LH KITCHEN PROGRESS 1LH KITCHEN PROGRESS 3LH KITCHEN PROGRESS 4And as you can see there is a box of tile and a few trim pieces just waiting to be installed.  Which is exactly why we were there this weekend.  Even though it was one of the hottest weekends we’ve had this year we plugged away and got her new floor tile all laid.  A vast improvement if I do say so myself!  Can you believe that this tile was only 85 cents/square foot?!  What a deal.LH KITCHEN FLOOR TILE 1LH KITCHEN FLOOR TILE 2LH KITCHEN FLOOR TILE 4LH KITCHEN FLOOR TILE 3We will be headed back out to her place to grout sometime in the coming week.  Hopefully on a cooler day.diana

    I agree Krystle! That wall closed it in. It really makes the house feel much bigger.

    Hey Kate! Yes. You’re absolutely right! Learning on someone else’s house is great! Now we know what mistakes not to make when we do our own. Haha. Don’t tell my sister I said that.
