The kitchen was last updated in the 50s The farmhouse was built in 1920
tore out the old cupboards and demoed the walls



Put up drywall new wiring and insulation


Had a amish guy make the new cupboards and island out of solid cherry




Had another guy cut out the granite counter tops


Put up 4x6 tile and grouted the joints for backsplash


Where the old porch was there was not any hard wood floor so I put down 12x12 tile and grouted the joints

Tore up 5 layers of flooring to get to the original hardwood floor. This took longer than the whole project


stain and two coats of poly on the floor

all done



Project took about three weeks.Even got the wife to help.The only thing I did not do myself was build the cupboards and cut the countertops. Figure I saved about 12 thousand doing it myself . Wifes happy now

Good job. I did the exact same thing 14 years ago to the same age house and kitchen age. A couple of times she has hinted that someday it will be dated. Someday dated? yes, functional-yes. Next remod will be done after I am gone.

looks great. we bought an old farmhouse and totally gutted the whole thing about 5 years ago. did 90% of the work myelf and saved a ton, but it did take about 1-1/2 years to complete it. nothing like knowing you did it yourself
