It's probably just dirty, but those electrical outlets look scary.


They're filthy and they will be replaced.

That is great to know as they do pair well together and make a nice clean look I like.

I also like your choice of drawer handles and pulls. Ours are big white ceramic ones (nice for my old hands) but look outdated when I see yours and what others have posted in their renos.

Thank you very much!

Just a little cheap under cabinet one from Lowe's to be honest.

I'm scared to put anything but tile in a kitchen. We have had several leaks with the water line to the fridge.

It's waterproof. It "click locks" and forms a watertight seal.

It's great stuff. And virtually indestructible since it's vinyl. Perfect for rental properties. Hell, when I redo my kitchen and living room into an open "great room," I'm gonna put it in my house.

Lot of work, but the finished product is very nice. Especially like the neutral tones and the clean lines.

That's the truth.

And 4 months of my life. I had no idea it would take that long and likely will never take on another one that is that much of an undertaking. Haha.

I said the same thing after performing a total rennovation of our home that we purchased in 2006. Fast forward to 2011, bought a house 2 houses down the street and started the process all over again with a total rennovation (and I mean TOTAL on this one) a few years later. We since moved in in the first quarter of last year but it's on hold as I still have the master bedroom, bath and closet to finish out...will start on thoses as soon as we get the other house sold. Hopefully, it's going on the market within the next couple of weeks!

So as the old saying goes..."Never say never!"

Never? That's a likely story...

BTW I'm still not having much luck with the oven, going to repost on FB again to see if there's any interest. I think the location is the tough part since most people looking for older stuff are in bigger cities.

I actually was about to email you. Don't worry about the oven. Just put it on the road for garbage pickup.

Ah ok. lots of 'likes' but very few who are nearby. Would have been a deferent outcome in Socal.

My parents are in a rental for the next several months while their house is restored from a water line leak going to the fridge that happened on day 2 of a 7 day cruise we went on as a family a month ago. Now I freak out everytime I'm away from the house for more than a few hours.
