My New Kitchen Under 4K

Anne Heath
7 anni fa

I have a galley kitchen which I love. My days of having a huge kitchen are over. I replaced the laminate counter top,double bowl sink and old faucet. I was so far under budget after putting in the granite,sink and faucet I splurged on a glass tile back-splash. I am over the moon. My actual cost including tips to installers, a granite pass through, and special grout for the back-splash came to $3,835.

Home Depot had a 20% sale on the granite. I always loved the Azul Plantino because of the tiny bits of silver sparkle. I had the old laminate removed,and hauled away by the HD installers. The contracted installers (Thompson Stone & Granite in Myrtle Beach SC)were excellent. I even received a refund of $320 because the original estimate was incorrect.

I loved this single bowl drop in sink and it looks fantastic. My faucet is perfect and fits the look I wanted.

I wanted 2 x 8 glass tile and I didn't want anything else but that size in glass. I chose SOHO arctic white polished glass tile with a silver grout.

I will be putting in under cabinet lighting and that still will not put me over my 4k budget.

My big dilemma should I go with a yellow or teal blue accent color.

Some before & after pics.

What do you think?

    Good job, Anne! You have put your small(ish) budget to very good use. Your kitchen looks updated and relevant to 21st century styles with the new granite color. It's a Home Depot installation so there is no question whether it was done right. And your backsplash choice is subtle and beautiful. Impressive. Oh and definitely teal!

    Thank you for taking the time to comment. FYI the only work my husband and I did was taking out the checkbook. Plumbing,tiling everything was done by contractors. We are of a certain age and I had a very bad heart attack in December so I am thankful and happy with the results. I will wait until the appliances give out before I replace with SS. We purchased this condo as our easy to take care of last home. Now for the bedrooms and master bath.

    Beautiful! And I'm not normally a fan of "white" anything! Or of the speckled granite. But it's beautiful! Love the sink and the glass tiles. Go with the teal accents; it will tie in with the granite and the back splash tones.

    Thank you everyone. I'm going with lemon yellow with a bit of teal. I'll upload some images when my wall art comes in. I went to my local food store and took a picture of the lemons on display. I cropped and edited the image, sent it to a web site that mounts it on canvas. Finished product is 18x24. I can't wait to see it. The total for that was $62.00 I purchased battery powered under cabinet lights from HD. The light is perfect and they cost 19.99 each. I'm closing in on 4K.

    You did a great job and proved that big bucks aren't always necessary for a beautiful result with careful shopping. Congratulations. I will choose teal over yellow unless there is yellow in an adjacent room. The good thing about accents and accessories is you can buy two sets in different colors and alternate by season or whim.

    Here are some updates to my under

    4k kitchen. I think the lemon picture should have been a 24 x 30. Think it's a bit small for that wall. I might try and sell it on craigslist and order the larger. So happy with the way everything has turned out. Its't the tile lovely? Thank you everyone for all the positive feedback.

    The kitchen that keeps on giving! I received a call from Home Depot. Seems that they owe me $120.34 ( adjusted measurement for the pass through granite) I think I might put it towards a Le Creuset Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Fry Pan, 12-Inch. I love to cook.
