We knew the first time that we came through the house, that the kitchen we going to be one of the first things that we would redo! It was circa 1970s and in desperate need up some updating! I will say now, that our budget for the entire room is $4000. A year-end bonus will allow us to pay for the room in cash, if we can keep it under that amount. For those of you who have built, or remodeled a kitchen, I'm sure that you know that the average price for a LOW RANGE kitchen is $25,000. Thus, this will provide a huge challange to my deal- seeking abilities :-)
We had a few people comment on the beams running across the ceiling. Please note, for those of you who haven't seen them, that they are made out of FOAM. You will note in the picture, Meg easily sticking a fork into them...
We promised her when we moved in, that when it came time to tear out the beams, that she would be allowed to pull them down. Well, it was about that time... :-)
After we took out the frosted ceiling tiles, there were, once again, many LAYERS underneath. Besides the frosted ceiling panels and foam beams, there were shop lights, then fiberboard ceiling panels, then the original plaster, then the lathe, and finally the floor joists of the second floor, as well as the plumbing running to the upstairs bathroom (convenient for running that second bathroom up to the secret room!)
