2013 update: New fridge, stove, dishwasher and flooring in white have been installed.

The time has come and I’m excited to share our little “mini” kitchen renovation with you. The last kitchen reno I did had a budget of $18,000 – NOT this time! The budget was tight and isn’t our dream kitchen; however it is so much better that I can’t relate how excited we are to just walk into the new room!

Let’s backtrack a bit; we bought the house in October 2008 and it was built in 1989. No updates had been done since it was erected so we had our work cut out for us. We had decorated our previous home with Tuscan accents and colors so we were in that frame of mind when we moved to the beach. Jump forward to 2011 and the ocean has touched our souls with its fury and ever changing beauty.
