Condo kitchen update reveal

11 years ago

Thanks everyone on GW for your advice last December with my condo kitchen update. Here's the original thread: http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/2817589/ideas-for-updates-to-condo-kitchen?n=49

Here are some before/after photos:

New light fixture

New hardware

New countertop, sink, faucet

New SS appliances

New floor

The whole unit still needs a coat of paint. But I'm really happy how the kitchen turned out.

no, my budget was unrealistic and ended almost doubled. But my budget wasn't based on any research. Once I started pricing things I realized I wanted it to be nicer. The countertop was a big splurge, but totally worth it over another formica countertop, for example. Same with the light fixture. I could have found something less expensive, but really wanted a 24" diameter light.

It looks great! Amazing how much better it looks with the changes you did make. Definitely updated! i seem to remember it's a ski condo for rent?... That kitchen will be a selling point!

What's your countertop material?

It's a ski condo that we use on the weekends. We don't currently rent it, but we might in the future.

The countertop is Silestone quartz in Mountain Mist. Went through HomeDepot and they did an amazing job. Only 2 seams in the whole kitchen and you can't see them.

Very nicely done. I like your counter stools and I'm glad to see that the wine-on-the-wall made the transition although perhaps a bottle or two is missing :) ?

Nicely done! Really made a huge difference. Were you able to keep (more or less) on budget?

What a difference. It looks so much nicer and updated. I'm glad Home Depot was able to help out and you were happy. Sometimes they get a bad rap.

Wow, what a big diff those small changes made! Proves one doesn't have to gut a place to really update it. It looks great!

What color are you planning to paint the condo?

Hokey smokes, are those the same cabinets? Amazing what new countertop and appliances can do!

Now you can enjoy the slopes instead of thinking about kitchens :)

Can I ask, are you happy with the light from the new fixture?

I don't know what color we are going to paint. I'm open to ideas.

Very happy with the light from the light fixture. It has four 100W light bulbs. We are using LED lights in it. Under cabinet lights would be nice, but we really don't need them in this weekend-only condo.
