DH and I have done a couple of renovations and like you, enjoy a good challenge. I have to say that my jaw dropped when I saw your pictures. Not only for how much you've gotten done in 3 1/2 weeks, but also for how much it has cost you! I'm very impressed. Your kitchen is lovely!

Thanks so much for the feedback everyone!!! I don't have time right now to address everyone's posts individually (I have to get my butt off this couch and into the shower because we're heading to a party soon), but I will try to answer some questions quickly: The paint color on the walls is BM Clinton Brown. I got it mixed in Aura and it went on beautifully. Never ending- Yes, the walls are textured! We had some imperfections in the old plaster that would have caused just regular paint to look horrible. So, I bought some "linen" textured wallpaper and put it up first and then painted over it. I also used a semi-gloss paint to purposely highlight the texture a little bit. I love it, as it adds a certain amount of warmth to the room. As for the light over the sink, that was there when we moved in, but I saw the exact same fixture at HD. Pretty sure it's under $10 :) It's just a globe, but I will try to get a pic for you later. I know I should move the coffee maker. I used to have it by the micro in the beginning, but that's because before the reno, that was the only outlet I had to use. The one by the fridge had the fridge plugged into it!! I guess I just moved it because I didn't like having so many things plugged into that one outlet... the micro, the toaster and the coffee maker. However, it does make logical sense and it is kind of a pain to make coffee in the corner I have it in now. The towels I found at B,B&B and the potholders I found at Target :) And I found some Robins egg blue fiestaware containers that I am dying to get into my kitchen. I can't justify them now... but they are already on my christmas list, haha. :)

I just did a complete DIY kitchen reno in a rental home using Diamond cabs from Lowes. My first choice was Ikea, but timing demanded we look elsewhere. I've posted lots of photos on my reveal (linked). We chose maple slab doors in Storm, a dark gray. I'd have preferred cherry for the grain, but opted for maple for budget reasons. You might want to consider that, I think the maple is fine, but might look a bit too uniform in a more transitional kitchen. I was happy with the cabinets, given the price. The finish was well done, the hardware seemed to be of good quality, and the doors were all adjusted nearly perfectly. I hacked a broom closet using Ikea components, which my new tenants have been oooing and ahhing over. I wanted a symmetrical look, so opted for drawers on the island, and added aftermarket pullouts in the cabs to reduce costs, which installed readily. My chief complaint was the shelves. If I were to use these for my own home, and I might, I would select plywood shelves. The shelves would be lighter weight, and I did not like the unfinished sides of the shelves. Good luck!
