Kitchen Remodel Thread

[Schnervel]

Installed appliances yesterday

Granite gets installed on Thursday. I'm back at work full time so I can only work evenings and weekends now. I'll be doing more drywall work tonight and tomorrow and then I'll put the doors back on. Plumbing work on Thursday night and trim work on Saturday/Sunday. Then paint.

Are the cabinet doors and drawers matte white thermofoil with white melamine interiors?

No, the doors are painted MDF and the cabinets themselves are wood faced with melamine sides.

Tile looks awesome. Any particular reason you didn't run the new tile into that bathroom?

White grout in kitchen is brave.
you do all the tile work?
I have similar tile in my bathroom and I like it alot

 

[Ardvark]

Is that the final color of the walls looks kinda like a wanzy kitchen

 

[Jays89YJ]

Good point. Did they use a modified grout (poly modifier)?

We didn't want to touch the powder room as part of this renovation. The tile in there is in good condition. However, in retrospect, it may have been good to run the tile in there for continuity sake.

The grout color is officially "pewter" but I agree, it came out looking more white than I anticipated. Yes, I did all the work in the kitchen, including the tile work. My father-in-law was my helper throughout, but really only a helper.

Negative. The counter tops get installed on Thursday and we will select a new wall color at that time. At the moment, we are thinking something in the tan/sand pallet.

I did not add a modifier to the grout, but it was $$ grout, not the same stuff you get at Homey Depot.

Did the third coat of mud on the drywall last night.

FWIW, the poly modifier will render the durability of epoxy, but the install wil remain easy like a sanded or unsanded grout.

I don't use HD grout either.

All of you are so much better than me.

Finished drywall work last night, primed drywall and put cabinet doors back on.
