This project was completed a couple of years ago, but I figured I would post some pics. Sorry for the poor quality on the before pics. They are scans of photos we took years ago when we moved into the house. I guess this would be considered a "budget" remodel since we kept the cabinets and just painted them.

Very nice! You definitely managed to make that kitchen look 30 years younger. That is one heck of a paint job, and I really like all the new molding, hardware, appliances, trim etc.

Bill,
Excellent job, I can't believe how much different the kitchen looks. The white cabinets look great with all of the other amenities( counter, backsplash, appliances, etc.)

Looks great, Bill.
Having redone three kitchens (one of em twice!) I know about the whole ordeal. It's the most expensive room to redo in the house, so if the layout is good and the cabinets solid, painting and refacing definitely allows you to channel your $$$ to other things.
Definitely a big improvement and love the beadboard!

Whoa, Bill!
Awesome before and after pixs
In fact, I'm currently swiveling the monitor around so LOML doesn't see this

Thanks guys! Paint sure goes a long way towards making a room look better. Of course, pretty much anything would have been an improvement over what we had.
