Week 5- Renovation Challenge

This week was fast and furious, so much work done this week and it really has started to look like a put together kitchen!

Let’s take a minute to recap Week 1 if you’re playing catch-up. I’m one of 12 designers competing in a 6 Week Renovation Challenge with Jeffery Court where one of us will walk away with a $5k dream vacation! The kitchen in the yellow house is getting a complete overhaul, take a look at the before.

Cabinets were installed this week which I am absolutely in LOVE with! KB Cabinetry did such an amazing job and really brought my vision to life!

Kyle kept the clean crisp lines I wanted, incorporated the new appliances and farmhouse sink, and worked so fast to meet my crazy timeline… without sacrificing quality and professionalism.

Next up was the tiling. I had tiled a backsplash in the past but this was my first floor tiling job ever, so I got a few pointers from the guys at my local hardware store. The best suggestion was using an angle grinder with a diamond blade rather than wet saw for cutting. It worked wonders.

I had ordered the Jefferey Court tiles prior to changing the cabinet layout so I was short a few. When I found out I was unable to get extras in my tight timeline I had to resort to hand cutting some scallops, scary at first but I got quite handy with the grinder!

Up went the wainscotting in the breezeway, painting and grouting tiles.

Near the end of the week I had to make a final decision on countertop (but more on that to come) I decided to go with Dekton from Costintino so a technician from Livingstone, a local distributor came to the house to measure the countertop.
