Kitchen renovation by yours truly...G-dubs
Among
the features that enticed us to
purchase our house in 2002, anything to do with the kitchen was absent.
It took quite a while for the enthusiasm to
do much of anything about it to arrive, except for replacing a 2 x 4
wraparound
light fixture and the garbage disposal. When
the enthusiasm finally did arrive, it was accompanied by serious global
recession. So our renovation plans
became more "resourceful". We kept the
stainless sink and the almond color- core counter. Paint and new
hardware for the cabinets. Replaced the wall tile with painted wood
paneling. Recovered an impressively
durable but fashionably outmoded Armstrong embossed sheet vinyl product
with
Parterre vinyl planks: faux
bamboo!! Metallic ceramic tile
base. These economical alternatives
allowed for some more interesting accent materials: an acrylic
Lightblocks counter with Chemetal face panels and maple trim. Labor,
excepting flooring installation, by
yours truly. A little more enthusiasm and
I’ll soon complete the lighting soffit.

These are sinks produced from a combination of two distinct substances to produce a very durable material. Typically, Acrylic and also fiberglass aren’t a great combination since they tend to help easily process stains and after a while, lose the particular glossy conclude.
ReplyDeleteInteresting information you got there Sophia. I would go for marble or solid surface worktops.
