Kitchen Details

The cabinets came in at $350 which was awesome. We got the appliances at Lowes, that was $4500 in all. David picked out an Italian porcelain floor which looks like aged stone which is nice in there and cost about $490.00 including the mortar, grout and Hardybacker. We got the glass tile for the back splash on clearance at Lowes which in all cost us about $130.
The enamel on iron sink we got at Restore for $40. Had bought one at Lowes for $300 and returned it when I found the one at Restore. Great savings.
The faucet I got on Amazon. It was an open box item and retailed for $650. I got it for $78 with free shipping.
I built the counters. Counters had me stumped. I decided against the granite but had no idea what to do for counters. I got inventive and bought pre-finished solid oak hardwood flooring which I used to build the counter surfaces. I like how they turned out.
Got stained glass cabinet doors (not shown) at the flea market for $20 for the pair for over the wine fridge. Got the wine fridge at Home Depot on clearance for $230.00---had been $500 but it had two dents. Big deal.
I custom made a matching shelf for the right side of the kitchen window and also a base bookcase for next to the wine fridge.
Had to custom tweak the base cabinets and resize a few but they worked well though it was a pain at first.
Did all the work ourselves which is nice and saves a ton of cash.

Loved the faucet from the start. It is in antiqued bronze.
Bought matching strainer baskets for it which are now in.
The style really accentuates the age of the house which is from 1926.
