Beautiful New Kitchen, All DIY- FINAL reveal

Our beautiful new kitchen was entirely DIY with the exception of professionally installed granite counter tops and a professional to move our sink (because we needed to tap into the house main drain and we felt that was more than we could/should take on as novice plumbers). It took as a while as we always squeeze our house projects in around our day jobs, the kids' after school activities and fun time together as a family. I am so proud of the final result and the cost savings from providing our own labor.

We painted all the existing cabinetry (inside and out), added trim work to extend the cabinets to the ceiling, painted the walls, added trim to the island, added a tile back splash. We switched out the flooring in the whole house which is a separate post here. I also discussed our cabinet painting here and here.

And here is the final reveal....!
