Project #1: Kitchen

I am going to be doing some updating all around my house over the next year or so and for my first project I have decided to do a modest update on our kitchen.  I am going to try and keep the cost under $1500.  I love the philosophy of using what you have so in this makeover I am going to keep the cabinets, except replace the broken drawer base, and the pulls, knobs, and hinges which I will paint.  To be replaced:  the floor and the countertop.  I will also add a backsplash.  I plan on doing most or all of the work.  I will be salvaging materials at a couple of my favorite haunts:  Second Use and Habitat for Humanity stores.

Here are the before's, I will post some updates of my progress.

If you have any thoughts or suggestions let me know.
