Reusing instead of throwing away in kitchen/laundry mini renovation

Our kitchen island was too big with only 23" clearance around it. The stove was right in front of oven and fridge with no work area beside it. The island was two unworkable levels. Our ugly pink backsplash that didn't match anything. In our laundry, we had no counter and plastic sink with poor storage. Instead of starting over we reused tall cabinets from the island for the laundry room upper cabinets. Reused the quartz island countertop for the new countertop in the laundry room. Reused the cute handpainted tiles from the original backsplash for the laundry room with matching travertine backsplash and travertine on the floor. Contrasted with a black quartz countertop for the kitchen island which is so much more functional. The workers were able to turn the existing base cabinets and pop up draft in the island to make a long thin island which fits the space so much better. Two rooms now improved, nothing in the landfill! Thanks Moutaineer Kitchens in Martinsburg West Virginia for being open to renovation with a twist, using the old and adding the new with quality work and professionalism.Mountaineer Kitchens



Stove was right in front of both the oven/microwave and refridgerator. Two tiered limited work space and landing zone for cooking. Was able to reuse the quartz countertops in the laundry room.



Hated this pink tile, but loved the little handpainted tile accent which we reused in laundry.



After reconfiguring we have so much more room!



Contrasted the old countertops with a black quartz top. Stove top turned is so much easier to cook with with better walk around space. The bar stools are from the old island so will be cutting them down.


New Travertine backsplash and outlet covers.



Reused the quartz countertop from the old island, the handpainted tiles and the upper cabinets here were part of the island! The new sink has a cutting board insert which is great.


Taking apart the island and reusing it! So much better then adding to a landfill!


Before laundry room, plastic sink, limited storage, old vinyl tile!
