And the winner is...

...the Kitchen! 

This is before. It is the only picture I really got before my SO began ripping everything apart.

This is a large project and it would not have been my first, but my significant other (SO) decided this without thoughts. We went over to clean and as he was cleaning the kitchen, he began tearing stuff apart. He ripped up the floor, took out an old, rotted cabinet and ripped the backsplash off the wall.

So.... it looks like we don't have a choice. This is where we will begin. UGH!

I am going to:

1.  Replace two cabinets ($$) and then use Rustoleum's Cabinet Transformations ($) on all cabinets. Also replace the knobs and drawer pulls.

2. Replace flooring with vinyl plank flooring ($)

3. Patch up walls, paint, and do the new backsplash (I am not sure what direction I am headed in here).

4. Although I wanted NEW countertops, it is not in our budget, so I am going to paint them to look like granite, based on something I found on Pinterest ($).

Where my SO pulled off the backsplashes.

The ripped apart floor.

The cabinet under the sink is no longer there. It was dryrotted and smelled and could not be salvaged.

I am a little nervous about all this, probably considering that I am putting all resources towards the kitchen rather than the bathrooms like I had wanted.


Do I have my work cut out for me or what?!
