CottageKat Kitchen Remodel

A 1950's kitchen gets a major remodel with IKEA cabinets, honed marble counters, and ship lap walls. Recycled hardwoods refinished to match the rest of the house.

Project Year: 2014

Project Cost: $25,001 - $50,000

This is the dining with door to master on right. Where the wall has been built out was before a door to the master bath. I closed in the bath and opened it from the master around the corner. Since I plan on removing the linen cabinet in the bath later, I added the linen closet and made a small jut...

This was the hot water heater on the left, we left it there and moved the washer/dryer to the right where the pantry once was.

Looking towards opposite end of kitchen, there was a wall across here in front of the doors, where the full sized washer/dryer were. I replaced the old door and side window with a new, 5 ft. French door which leads to a little deck.

Now, looking back the other way is the dining and new French door which leads out front. I had to move the door opening on right which leads to living and 2 bedrooms and bath, in order to have just enough room for the fridge and IKEA pantry cabinet which is about 24 In. wide.

Black iron shelf brackets from Signature Hardware. I bought my sink, faucet, toilet and shelf brackets online... most shipped for free.

I added ship lap to all the walls in the kitchen and dining because I felt they would add a lot of character to this little kitchen!

I love replacing kitchen windows and each kitchen has a different feel. My last kitchen I saw an arched window over the sink and found a perfect, vintage window at an antique store in McKinney. It was the exact size I needed for the space and cost 175.00.

There was a door on the left where the wall angles out that led to the master bath...who wants a door to a bath right in the dining room? So, I put an opening around the corner in the little master and will later put a barn door on it. I had this vintage chippy table and it works well in this...
