The After: We wanted to create a more modern space.
We did our kitchen reno a year ago, but I just found the photos and thought I would share them. Our home is on a street where all the properties are being bought up by developers and mega homes are replacing the 1950s ranchers. I have no doubt that we will be the last family to live in this little house, so we didn't want to spend a fortune on our renos. We opted to do an Ikea renovation ourselves (with the help and expertise of my amazing father in law). Ikea makes renovations easy because you simply take your kitchen measurements in and use their planning software to configure all of the cupboards and drawers that you need. We spent many nights huddled over their computers, and my hubby consumed a lot of swedish meatballs for dinner, but in the end it was well worth it. In total, our reno only cost $7000 (there is also another wall of cupboards with a sliding pantry cabinet that isn't shown in the photos). We cut down costs by opting to have a laminate countertop instead of granite and saved money using black cabinets, which were priced cheaper than white. I just wanted to show you that it doesn't take much to give your space a facelift.
