[quote=Anonymous]Kitchen in our house is small-medium, and cabinets are from about 1960.  I did a partial reno about 15 years ago with a microhood, new countertops, some other stuff.  Just finished refacing them with new doors.  The cabinets are super strong, high quality with shelf standards in them, no reason to take down and replace with either (a) really really expensive new cabinets or (b) crappy affordable cabinets.  Bought all the refacing materials and tools online and with some practice I was up and running.  Carefully did all the measuring and got all new doors and drawer fronts.  Place looks great!  New quartz counter coming late this month.  A Pro is measuring that one! I even had to replumb the sink drain to drop it for the new sink height.  worked out great, fun stuff.  The gas cooktop is coming out for an induction one, I have done all my own wiring and piping too.  Oh, and I reframed under the cooktop for a warming drawer.  Those things are great!  Keeping the 1962 thermador wall oven, its a real gem with its own mini vent hood for smoke, though I had to remake the door closure spring assemblies.

All in all, expending about $16,000 dollars on everything.  It'll look like new and keep its current really very efficient and workable layout.  And pick up a little extra storage space.  The floor is staying the same, Armstrong laminate I did 15 years ago.  Its a simple replacement to itself if needed in the future.  Stuff wears like iron, and we have 3 kids.

Has kept me busy during COVID, and looks great.  And isn't $50,000[/quote]
