A Kitchen Alongside Glass Cabinets, Wood Counters & A Marble Backsplash

Simply as we wrapped up our big kitchen adventure, Amanda and her handy husband were finishing theirs. Except she and her husband Ben fully gutted theirs and have literally rebuilt it by hand (yup, they even DIYed new cabinets). And although we have been sharing quite a run of kitchen-related Reader Redesigns lately, we could not resist sharing this one too. So here is her letter:

I hoped to send you a link to our lately wrapped up kitchen. The room began out as a 90’s oak and almond appliance box:

We tore everything out to start from scratch:

My hubby and I did all of the work, no contractors involved. He tore down a wall, built custom cabinets, laid new hardwood floors, installed our wood counter tops, backsplash, and much more.

It feels so much more open now, and things like the glass cabinets and our marble backsplash truly finish things off nicely.

 I simply thought you could appreciate all of our hard work seeing as you are at the end of your kitchen remodel too! -Amanda

Quite the transformation, no? And if you wanna see more, check out Amanda’s journal and be sure to hit up this post for a complete budget breakdown of the project. Congrats on a job well done folks! Now let us play the what is-your-go-to-part game. I am loving those rich wood counters and Sherry wants to rub her face on that marble backsplash.
