The Kitchen Progress

So remember that post way back in the fall when I posted a picture of a kitchen reno in progress? Well here's a little before and after of that project.

The kitchen side one, when we moved into the house

The Kitchen side one, all finished!

Stuff we did:

• New Brazilian cherry hardwood floor to match the rest of the house went in just before we moved into the house.
• Joel installed the new Kenmore Elite convection double ovens to replace the 1963 Chambers double ovens. 
• The hardwood drawer fronts and cupboard doors were sanded down, primed and painted with a paint sprayer (about 5-6 coats)
• The whole frame around the cupboards had to be rebuilt to hold the new butcher block
• The butcher block was custom made here in Marin and installed (it weighs a ton!)
• Oiled bronze pulls were ordered from Lee Valley - gotta support our favourite Canadian hardware!
• Benjamin Moore chalkboard paint in that deep warm grey was used on flat areas around the back of the kitchen island and up the side of the oven cupboard area.
