The Kitchen

This is what the kitchen looked like to begin with. From the pictures it doesn't look too bad, but it was nasty!! The cabinets aren't actually oak they have and iron-on veneer that was peeling off and bubbling in some places and the whole place was covered in grease and tar from cigarette smoking. The floor is supposed to be white, but it's also yellow from tar. It was pretty gross!!!



Here's what it looked like as we were getting started tearing into it.

Diantha and Trio spent hours and hours in the kitchen with me trying to get all the nasty veneer and adhesive off the cabinets


Our refrigerator is really old and gross. We didn't have the money to buy a new one yet so Trio had the idea to spray paint it black with appliance spray paint. I didn't even know there was such a thing. Anyway, we covered the floor with newspaper and cardboard and went at it. It was really fun and it turned out really looking really good!
