UPDATE: Finally Complete!
Comments (8)Wow an amazing change now you have so much space. It is much more functional and a nice space to cook some amazing dishes....See Morei have an ugly 80's style granite counter, how can I update it cheap?
Comments (21)Depending on where you are in the country you may be able to score a really nice remnant marble slab super inexpensively. Or check your local slab yards for great deals on one slab purchases. In California, everything is more expensive, but as an example you could replace all your counters here for approx $1,500. total with fabrication and materials for the minimal amount of surfaces that you need replacing. It's a thought. Otherwise there are several other options such as replacing the counters in man-made resin products such a prefab Quartz or even wrapping them in sheets of polished stainless steel. Color injected concrete is also a great look but it's just as expensive (but not as durable) as marble due to the laborious nature of the application and fabrication process....See MoreNeed help with updating the front of an early 80's home
Comments (22)WhatWhat about a porch like this? It seems better then what I had before as far as roof lines? The door already sits back farther then the windows and when you walk into the house, you walk straight into a brick wall which is the fireplace. So that front spot of the house is already a bit dark. Behind the fireplace though the room has nice light. So, all that to say, I think the front of the house may be dark with or without a porch? Here's a picture of the living room for reference. The whole inside needs to be redone, but it gives an idea on space... So the door to the house is centered with the back of the fireplace. We might remove some of the brick on the sides if we can to make things more open and light....See Morefrom 80's honey oak to updated shaker
Comments (14)Very nice look now. The old style of glass look through cabinets are very dated and you opened up the whole kitchen. Like your counter top as we will be using the close look of it on our kitchen build. Ken...See Morenosoccermom
