Notloudenuf's Kitchen update

This is a project we did last year. Our house was a spec built home and had the cheapest of everything that they could put in there.
The kitchen was no exception.
Here is what it looked like before.

We ordered our cabinets through Lowe's. They are called Shenandoah McKinley maple linen. So once they were delivered the tear out began

We got cabinets that went all the way to the ceiling. This is what the door detail looks like.

We hired out the installation for this. It was a very small portion of the entire project and we would have our kitchen back in a day.

Before our countertops came in

We added this section in the corner where we didn't have anything before.

Here is the countertop style we picked out

It took almost 2 months for the tops to come in. Lowe's didn't have a sku to sell it with but they had it on the shelf. WTF

We had the walls just painted for a while but we added a beadboard backsplash.

Also color matched (factory finished) crown moulding to top it all off

Very nice sir! Lots of good functionality going on there. Plus crown molding, yummmm.

I like it that is some regular Holmes on homes stuff right there.

Looks great!!! I wish I would've known you were doing this because I can get cabinets at wholesale! !!! Not no cheap bs stuff either, my cabinets make some of Lowe's cabinets look bad. The countertops look great also!!! The reason they didn't have a sku on them is because the purchase it from another company /contractor so in all honesty they're just the middle man. the great thing about Lowe's is they will honor warranties like no tomorrow so keep that in mind.


If anyone is in need of blinds,cabinets, flooring & molding I can get it at a discounted price & quality products for the members on here!!! We can even trade for audio stuff,lol!!

^^ good to know ^^ thanks, I may take you up on that sometime.
