We are finally done with updating our cabin. This was a big project with a tight deadline. If I didn't know before, I certainly know now how much my husband loves me. Here is the new kitchen, it is 100% built and designed by us. You could say I had my very own little fixer upper moment, but instead of a six figure reno budget, we did ours on a $4-$5,000 budget.
It started out quite small(as most projects do), but grew when we realized how much water damage was in the cabin. The pictures don't do the smell justice. We were in the process of trying to sell this property but not getting any decent offers. So it was time to renovate.... Our timeline was short because we wanted to rent it for the summer (it's a lakehouse) to recoup our renovation expense. We didn't want to spend a lot of money, so we knew we had to salvage and repurpose most of what we did. For example, the total materials cost for the kitchen was around $1200 (not including the flooring). We saved alot by doing the concrete countertops and farmhouse sink ourself. Farmhouse sinks are pricey, around $500 for the cheapest.
