Advice on the world's cheapest kitchen reno

15 years ago

After 2 years in our house, we are finally getting ready to tackle the kitchen. Since we are a military family (so we're poor and may have to move at a moment's notice!) our renovation budget will be very, very small and my husband will be doing it all himself (with a little help occasionally from friends). Though I know this won't be my dream kitchen I am having trouble reconciling myself to it; after years and years of living in base housing (some nice, some deteriorating around our (and the resident rats) ears) I finally have a chance to make choices about my own home!

Our house is a 60's style ranch with a galley kitchen; luckily, the center aisle has plenty of room. Here are the particulars and some questions:

The cabinets are solid wood and well made, so a good cleaning and painting (white is my first choice), a change out of some of the scrolly trim pieces and new hardware and hinges should update them nicely. We were thinking of using the ACE cabinet paint since it is actually available out here in the middle of nowhere!

I have convinced my husband to replace a small unused desk and dinky display cabinet at the end of one run of cabinets with nice deep shelves (finished to blend with the cabinets and look like a built in) for extra storage. I was thinking of backing it with beadboard (which we have on the walls in the entry and dining room that connect to the kitchen). Our appliances are white (or will be; we have replaced the dishwasher, oven and refrigerator over the last few years and have the cooktop and micro hood (a necessity when you have 15.5 linear feet of counter, half of that taken up with sink/cooktop) already).

We replaced the world's ugliest light fixtures when we moved in with nickel finish schoolhouse lights.

We are torn on the countertop. We like the Bedrock Creations "kitchen in a box" granite tile system in the Toronto Grey ($650 + $95 shipping + about $100 for new underlayment) and have looked at doing a postform Formica Radiance laminate countertop (with the front edge that goes all the way under to avoid chipping) in Smoke Quarstone. (http://www.formica.com/publish/site/na/us/en/index/laminate/collection/radiance_collection.html#) I don't think there would be a huge difference in resale given the price point of the house and I know the Formica would be easier to install for my poor husband but it's so hard to tell what it will look like from the tiny sample chip. Has anyone used this laminate?

I was thinking of a white cast iron sink (to match the appliances) and a stainless steel or chrome arc faucet. Will this work against such a dark counter? (I'm stuck with the white cooktop, so I hope white will work!)

I'd like to use white subway tile on the backsplash regardless of the counter we go with (right down to the countertop) but I'm worried that it would be boring. Would some sort of pencil tile or rope accent in a pewter be enough to break it up and tie in the counters, do you think?

The floors are the one thing we cannot agree on. I would have loved to use the old fashioned white and black vinyl tile but our realtor advised us against it in no uncertain terms. (She said some people would see that tile and just turn around and leave, no matter how nice the rest of the house was.) Her advice was a neutral beige tile to tie into the wood laminate and beige-y brown entry hall tile. I need to stay under $2 a square foot. Lowes has some 13 x 13 ceramic tile with a bit of grey in it for 69 cents each or larger 16 x 16 porcelain tile for $1.78 a square foot. Is the porcelain tile worth spending that much more on?

I tried to talk my husband into floating wood laminate but he said absolutely not, since our washer/dryer sits in a closet in the kitchen.

Our $2,000 budget for cabinet redo, counter and floors doesn't sound like much but to us it's huge. I am so afraid of making a mistake and wasting money or making us go over budget (or ending up with something that I hate) that I am almost paralyzed and ready to give up. I'm in such a tizzy I think my husband is about ready to volunteer to deploy again to get away from me! Any helpful advice or suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.

Do you know for sure that the formica will be cheaper than the granite? I don't know the price points of the different laminates but I do know that the more expensive formicas cost more than the less expensive granites. Given that it's DIY, I'd go for the formica.

For the floors; if you like the classic black and white checkerboard, why not sheet vinyl. I have a friend who has it and I'm not kidding, I thought it was ceramic for the longest time...I mean years! It looked great. There's a thread going right now about sheet vinyl with some pictures that show off how wonderful it can look. Sorry, but I don't know how much it costs, though it's best to have it installed by a professional. While I agree with your realtor that composite vinyl tiles would be a turnoff, other vinyls look much nicer and for a potential buyer, a ceramic/porcelain floor they don't like would be a nightmare to change but vinyl can be switched out easily and inexpensively. If you decide to do tile, I'd choose the porcelain over the ceramic especially because the larger size is much more current style wise.

I don't think subway tile would be too plain and a pencil liner in any color would look great.

You will see many examples of kitchens with dark counters, white sinks and chrome faucets in magazines and the finished kitchens blog. It's a timeless, classic look and I don't think you can go wrong. Plus, the formica you picked isn't really black, black. I think it would look great. Maybe you could order a larger sample so you could get a better idea of how it would look.

Best of luck with your remodel. If you're stationed in a place you like, I hope you get to stay there a while. Heart felt thanks to you and your spouse.

It is always an adventure. We planned a family room addition and a kitchen renovation --- with a 3 year old and a 1 year old. It was a mess. The GC took out an exterior wall and put up a temporary wall that was plywood with insulation stapled to it. We set up a staging area in our living room that consisted of a fridge, table and a microwave. I put tons of canned goods on the table and many rubbermaid bins, toys underneath the table. There was very little room for the kids to play and it was stressful for me to be in the house because the baby would cry and I knew that was annoying for the workers. On the other hand, their hammering was a constant torture sound! I decided to take the kids and go visit my mom in FL for a few weeks so they could really crank it out and we'd come back to a finished project that had fallen way behind. Washing dishes in my bathroom, dealing with the constant dust,etc. made me wonder daily what I was thinking.... Anyway, we left for FL, came back and excitedly opened the door and discovered that the CG never set foot in my house when I wasn't there. GRRRR. I called him from my house(on my cell) and asked how it was going, to which he replied, "oh great." I was furious. That was the first of many problems we encountered with him. He was the worst and in the end our addition burned down the first time we turned our new gas fireplace on) and we had to start all over (when I was now 7 months pregnant. When I went into labor and was at the hospital, our roof was covered in tarps. My MIL called us at the hospital and wanted to know what to do because it was raining and the wind was blowing and the tarps were blowing off and it was raining all over our brand new beautiful cherry floors. Any way.... it can be painful, and expect inconvenience, but guess why I am on this forum now.... because I want to do it all again.... yes, we have waited 4 years. In the end, we enjoyed that kitchen and that new addition so much. I learned many many lessons --- the most important being TRUST YOUR GC, but it was all worth it. It was a product that I was so proud of every single day and we were so sad to leave that house because we had put our personal stamp on it! Good luck --- can't wait to hear about your finished product, I'm sure you will be so glad you did it.

Thanks everyone. I have spent some time analyzing my current situation and the proposed layouts that all of you so kindly offered. It seems that there are pros and cons to all scenarios and no clear cut best answer. 1. Keeping my current layout would provide the maximum amount of storage but I would still have a compromised prep area between the sink and range. I would take away the bar height and have a single level countertop for the whole configuration. 2. Sena's layout includes a 52" x 90" rectangular island instead of the L-shape and proposed moving the range to the corner. The benefit here is that I gain prep area between the sink and stove. I do lose some of my original storage with the range in the corner and the island change. 3. cpartist proposed moving the refrigerator to the far left top wall with dishwasher next to the fridge, sink next to the dishwasher, widened window and moving the stove to where the refrigerator currently is. I would have to use a counter-depth refrigerator if I don't want it sticking out so far and I'm not sure of the exact island dimension proposal but it was 39" x ??". I would definitely gain more prep space between the sink and stove but I feel like I would be losing a lot of island. I would also lose some storage in the refrigerator over having a refrigerator in my recessed area and the pantry would not be as deep. 4. mamagoose proposed using cpartist's idea for the appliances but turning the island 90 degrees. The reason I resisted seating on the dining room side was because we have our dining room table for seating and it feels like island seating in that area would be redundant. The island in this configuration though is 42" x 72". I do love the look of rectangular islands and I think they are timeless. I'm not sure the L-shaped island is as appealing as it once was to me but it does seem like I can get more storage that way. I gather that most of you feel that my current L was too big to begin with? I'm worried that my kitchen is going to come off appearing smaller than it truly is if the island is small and a lot of the storage is gone. So that is my dilemma right now. It is a lot to process and I thank you for all the valuable info. Am I correct that there is just not one best answer?

I'm in the early stages of a full gut job, so I only have a few things to say. My GC is really good about telling me what he needs and when, but I did run into a little time crunch with the flooring because it needs to sit for at least a week to acclimate and I couldn't make up my mind. He is great about answering my questions and helping me decide things if I'm confused - like we just went over light switches and there was a discussion on whether the under cabinet lighting should be on one switch or two. I would say the GC should definitely help with how much floor to order. I didn't have a KD, so I'm doing that. For me that's the biggest stressor - making all the decisions and stressing about them. So from that perspective, I would say get your stuff picked out and/or ordered early so you don't add to your stress about choosing and getting it on time. Also, that way you won't find that a light you like takes 2 months to be delivered. It's funny because I read here about other people saying something similar and I thought - eh, I won't pick something that will take that long to deliver, I'm not that fussy, I don't have that big of a budget, etc. And then I found that there is no rhyme or reason to how long things take to get. I picked a $50 light that had a fairly common look, but it was a little cheaper than the others, and the delivery estimate was 2 months, so I had to get one of the $70 ones that looked similar. Not a huge deal, but just an example. I don't know how much we are over budget right now. Originally I was hoping for a $30k remodel, but I had to expand that to $50k, and I think we may go over that by a little. Things like extra outlets and switches are going to add up. He did a great job putting up plastic to keep the dust out. Unfortunately it made it so we pretty much could only use half of our house - kitchen, dining room and downstairs bathroom is behind the plastic. The main problem we have there is that we have a dog and his dog door was in the kitchen, but we are dealing. We have baby gate up on the one side and we just have to walk him more. Our dining room is the 'staging area' where we have our new fridge (which we are using), and all the other stuff that I have bought and they haven't put in yet - other appliances, sink, faucet, flooring, etc. We have a little temporary kitchen set up in the office. I have a pretty small house, so it is tight, and it wasn't possible to put the fridge in there with everything else. We are using a toaster oven, crock pot, microwave and sous vide. We are only finishing up week 2, but so far it hasn't been too bad. I make one big meal in the crock pot - stew, casserole type one pot meal - and eat that every day for lunch and two dinners. Then we make something else one night - last week it was london broil in the sous vide, this week it's meatloaf in the toaster oven. Then we go to family every Friday anyway. We go out once or twice and so far have gone to friends or family another day. Ok I guess I had a lot to say after all.. Here are some pictures just for fun. because I'm dying to share with someone but didn't have a good reason to start a thread about it. Before: kitchen - yes it's horrible, just horrible. I see some of these before pictures and I think, man wait until you see mine! We painted the cabinets red when we moved in because they were a really dark stained wood and the stain wasn't even in the best condition. I thought the red would be fun and funky since we were planning to renovate anyway.... then it waited 10 years. I was going for a french bistro kinda look. dining room looking into kitchen now: kitchen - they found that the electric was so bad they decided to take down all the plaster, then they found that there were no studs or insulation, so they are adding that. (one of the things that is going to push us over the revised budget) As of this afternoon or tomorrow there will be no back wall there because we are taking out that window and door and putting in french doors. - that's one of the things that made the original budget get revised. in the dining room looking into the kitchen - taking that load bearing wall with all it's duct work and electric is another thing that made the original estimate go up. (the board in the middle hanging down there is literally just holding the light switch.) Oh also, I think the work phase of ours is going to be about 6 weeks. I've been planning for 3 months. My GC is on site almost every day. I let the guys use our downstairs half bath. We have just pretty much not been using it. The floor is dirty, but other than that they seem to be being pretty good about respecting our stuff, but it's really only my GC and one other guy, and my GC is I would say pretty invested in making me happy. I swear he must get half of his business from my mother-in-law. He's always like, 'oh I saw your mother-in-law last week when I was working on so and so's house' and my husband's uncle called us to ask the GC to give his spare key back. So our relationship is different than just any GC. He also worked the rough supplies into the estimate. I was responsible for picking out appliances, counters, cabinets, tile, etc. In the end he got the cabinets for me because he got a better price wholesale, so he WOULD do that stuff, but I like to comparison shop.

Wouldn't it be easier to replace the single wall oven with a double wall oven by utilizing the lower part of that cabinet? How long have you lived in the house and used the kitchen as it is? Do you think that the changes you suggested would be enough to make it functional enough that you do Not have to remodel in 5 years? I've never used a kitchen in a new house for less than about a year before making final decisions about kitchen design (and they generally were not exactly what I would have done at the beginning). And I've designed kitchens for other people as well. You can do what you want, really, spend $5000 now and $25,000 or more later, whatever. I know people who have taken out brand new kitchens that had been put in by the sellers to sell the house. I know people who have spent tons of money redoing kitchens and I've barely been able to distinguish it from the old one except that it looks new. I don't really care how other people want to spend money. Just understand that the return on the investment is not 100% so technically you lose money with every remodeling project Except if the values of the houses in your area are going up anyway. If you said that you were going to spend $5000 for a five year holding pattern and $75,000 in 5 years, I would say go for it, because 5000 is like 6-1/2% of what you will be spending later, but if you are going to spend $30,000 on this whole house like you spend on the last on, that same $5000 is going to be a big part of that kitchen budget of 5 years from now.

For the flooring, you might want to check out Trafficmaster vinyl peel & stick tiles sold at Home Depot. It's very cheap and definitely can be DIY. It comes in stone & wood looks. If you do a search for Trafficmaster on the Flooring forum, you will find many positive comments and pictures.

Many years ago, someone posted a picture of their kitchen done in a tonal checkerboard with using light tan and light taupe Trafficmaster tiles. It looked very sophisticated and subtle.

For counters, Ikea has some nice inexpensive DIY wood and laminate counters . The selection of colors is very limited but you might find something you like. I have the Pragel walnut one in my laundry room and it has held up well. If you don't have that big a kitchen, you might also check into prefab granite if it's available in your area.

there was a thread a while back about vinyl flooring that looked like slate and there were some really beautiful floors. will try to find it and if so post it below.

I am concerned about white cabinets / white appliances and white subway tiles. Feeling like it might be too much white. for the backsplash could you do a pattern? maybe the diamond pattern you wanted on the floor but with two colors, white and something (maybe not too contrasty).

about the countertops... our first kitchen was done on a budget and I found the laminate to be quite expensive. just get a couple of prices before going too far down the road.

I have no issues with the white sink against the dark countertops, but just am thinking there might be too much white. someone posted a kitchen recently that was white white white... will post it for you in case it helps.

here is the post about the slate look alike floors:

http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg110902268153.html

also, here is a thread that I just love... it was a DIY and they give TONS of information on the process which might be helpful for you.

I love the idea of the black and white floor given all of your white, then be fun and accent in red or yellow. It's a cool cafe look that's great in a vintage home.

Your realtor is on crack. The bad ones advise neutral neutral neutral...and ya know what...my DH's did as well, and for six years it sat on the market. I came in, painted the kitchen yellow, added bold glass accents, did the bedrooms in garnet green and a deep blue, and it sold in two days. Boring is umm boring heh heh

It sounds to me like you have a great start going, and it will be fab in the end. I'd like to suggest a couple of things...first, on the cabinets, I'm all about painting good wood cabinets, so great idea there. I prefer above any other primer, to use a sherwin williams product (primer) called seal and bond (for shiny surfaces). Use this after a quick wash with TSP and you won't have to sand the cabinets :) This will make your husband or yourself, (who ever is painting) love me forever! I have used this product in three kitchens and it is sooo strong!!! Then cover with the paint of your choice (but do a high sheen (glossy or cabinet paint) for stregnth.

Big hint...little thing...spend good money on your paint brushes, say over 10 each. Treat them well and they'll last forever, but a good purdy brush will make all the difference in your paint job. Trust me on this, it's important.

Ok another mistake made in my lifetime...the hinges you have currently are made for those cabinets, if they work, don't toss them. It's actually harder than you think to change out hinges. I did it once...it was a funny mistake, and ended up costing me several hundred dollars and a few days to fix the error. So when you take them down keep all hinges and screws. You can easily prime (with spray automotive primer paint) then paint with metalic paint and they'll look lovely. Even if you think I'm on crack telling you that...please, throw them in a box until you're sure!

To paint, lay them out on a plastic garbage bag. Stick the screws into an empty cracker or cereal box head up and paint them as well. Thin coats, several and they'll look like new :)

I'm not sure what the price point was, but you might research copper or zinc counters. Circuspeanut did his copper counters DIY and they're absolutely to die for, and I think they're not bank breakers, and probably cheaper than replacing the current counters. If not, either formica or granite is fine...you're smart to consider your price point there. I have a home full of beautiful stone counters...and one formica one because it suits the use better (sewing room) but it's a wonderful granite look. I did a wood edge on that counter and I love it. It's the color of absolute brown granite and the trim is walnut tone. personally, if you're going to go with a black and white floor I'd go with either a black counter or have a blast and go red :o) Then go totally retro with a metal edge.

You said white for your cabs, but spend some time looking at the kitchens in the kitchen forum. Gray is devine and very upscale looking in a kitchen for cabs. Black is rich and wonderful especially if you antique it. And, you can paint laminate as well :) So don't rule that out until you investigate. My last kitchen I painted the cabinets a rich chocolate brown. They're now in a friends mother in law appt and they look fab with creamy counters. I'd kill for a gorgeous devine dove gray...and may do that in our victorian for our first step remodel...so look at other colors just for fun :o)

And when done...share!!!

Igloochic said it all and more, so all I'll add is if you're using spray paint, do it outside, downwind, and on sawhorses or a table or a box of a similar height, so you can lean away, rather than toward, the paint. The current accellerants are particularly noxious, and you don't want to inhale them. Even better if you can get a respirator mask rated for that kind of use.

If you have a big box store - the kind where you priced out post-formed counters, ask them about ordering bull-nosed, no back splash tops to suit the look you're seeking. You can also speak to local laminate countertop fabricators - they can be very inexpensive and you can choose from a wider set of laminates.

I have some caution about peel and stick flooring in a kitchen - been there, done that, never again. It's really hard to install and to keep the seams looking clean (you'll have plenty of them). So count me as another vote for sheet flooring.

Thank you all so much for the input! It's so nice to have other interested parties to "talk" this whole thing over with. My poor husband is sick of hearing about it! (When he left for work this morning he told me, "Think of me as the monkey with the hammer...just tell me what you want and I'll do it. Get back to me when you've decided.")

cheri127: Yes, the Formica will definitely be cheaper than granite tile. We took our measurements in and got a $498 quote from Lowe's (actually it's $486 after the military discount and tax). I hadn't considered vinyl sheet flooring, probably because I can't wait to get rid of the stuff we have, but it's worth looking in to. (And we've been stationed much worse places than here even if we are in the middle of nowhere so I'd like to stay a few more years!)

linley1: I LOVE Ikea, but the closest one is over 5 hours away in Dallas. By the time we rent something to haul our stuff home in it becomes cost prohibitive. Interestingly enough, my realtor told me to avoid butcher block at all cost for resale as some people just loathe it. Tghe kitchen lady at Lowe's agreed. She said people in this area worry about upkeep and it being hard to keep clean and germ free.

mamadadapaige: Thank you for the links! In the slate-like flooring discussion I saw a beautiful floor and the owner was kind enough to give me the colour number. It was Stainmaster sheet vinyl in Breakwater

http://www.stainmaster.com/resilient/resilient_3040.jsp

I'll check it out and see how much it costs. As for the white kitchen link...oh, how I dream of having a huge white kitchen like that!

igloochic: I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks a black and white floor would be awesome in the kitchen! I love the look and not just because, as my husband contends, that I'm homesick and trying to recreate a See's Candies shop. (Though that may be where I fell in love with the look as a kid, now that I think of it.)

Thank you so much for the painting and hinge advice! I will definitely look for that primer. Since we have so much painting to do (in addition to the cabinets we have a bunch of shuttered louvered doors between rooms) we were thinking of buying a good interior paint sprayer for the doors. My husband is a whiz with a can of spray paint so the hinges would be no problem. (When we redid the dining room he transformed our ugly old brass ceiling fans with silver and white spray paint. Now they have cottage style and it cost us about $15 total.) I will look at other colours (the dove grey sounds gorgeous) but I love white cabinets (especially with clear glass knobs).

bmorepanic: We have a Lowe's here (the closest Home Depot and big Lowe's is an hour and a half away) which is where we priced the laminate post form counter. The $498 was for the bull nose edge that goes all the way under (to avoid chipping) without a backsplash; I prefer tile to go all the way down to the counter on a backsplash. Thank you for the advice on the peel and stick tile., It wouldn't have occurred to me that it was harder to keep straight!

Happy AF Wife,

I was one of you many moons ago! My hubby was stationed at Tinker in the late 80's to early 90's. Hi!!! :)

Everyone has given you great advice, but I'd like to chime in on the peel and stick/Traffic Master tiles. We put them down throughout our living room, dining room and kitchen last year, peeling up old, icky peel and stick tile as we went. We swept each area thoroughly, then put down the wood-look peel and stick tiles. IMPORTANT: We added special laminate flooring adhesive underneath each tile.

We didn't have a problem with keeping the tiles straight, but our tile looks like random blocks of wood. I'm not sure how to describe that any better, but it looks really good on the floor.

To keep the tiles straight for something with noticeable lines, like the black and white pattern, you'd need to snap a chalk line and line up very carefully, but you'd have to do that with any kind of tile or flooring.

BTW, your kitchen re-do sounds a lot like what I'm planning. I want beadboard for the backsplash with white cabinets and black or chocolate brown mottled laminate counters. Tile for the backsplash just doesn't appeal to me. I'd rather have something I can repaint if it gets stained somehow.

I love igloo's comments on the hinges.
I had cabinets from 1959...I hated the color of the hinges and knobs.

They don't make hinges to fit the cabinets anymore so I spent $600 (makes me sick) to have them re-plated in brushed nickle. Oh that was just for the hinges!! I bought cheap knobs.
I wish i knew about the automotive paint.Great trick.

lissa_z9b: I wish we had been stationed at Tinker! (I am not a small town girl and after being stationed in Hawaii for 4 years (a great assignment, but that was where we had the disintegrating house with the rats and bugs) I really wanted to be near a Target again. Oh, how I miss Target.) Are these the TrafficMaster tiles you used? Have they held up well?

http://www.depot-tile.com/product/IM76014.html

I considered a beadboard backsplash (I love the stuff! My husband installed beadboard wainscoting in the dining room, entry and hallway to the bedrooms to replace old "wood" panelling and I love the look) but my husband vetoed the idea. He was concerned about maintenance and scrubability, especially behind the cooktop, and felt that ceramic tile with minimal grout lines and a good sealer would hold up better.

alterit: Wow, I bet your hinges are beautiful! I really don't like the shape of ours but I will definitely spray paint some silver first and see how they look before changing them out. (Right now they are copper, like the knobs and the lantern-style light fixtures I got rid of the day we closed on the house!) If we keep the hinges I might be able to get nicer knobs. I'd love glass but it might be too taste specific for resale.

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to give me advice (and encouragement!). I am stressing less now!

Happy,

We used the same brand, but a slightly different pattern. Mine looks like 4 rectangular pieces of wood surrounding a small square block of wood.

From the box, purchased at Ho*me Despot: SKU 361-057, Pattern: Redwood Pattern No.: 62331. Residential 10 year warranty.

There's no need to match the pattern, although there are pattern matching lines on the back if you want to match it. Most people who come in the house think it's wood flooring, but I just think it's low maintenance and easy to keep looking good.
