I'm so glad and thankful for our new kitchen. We've been living in it for a while now and I still believe it's worth every penny.
Now that most of the work is done, I thought I would share a breakdown of our budget and what we've actually spent so far.

Paint cabinets budget 500 actual 345
Knock down wall,mount cabinets,build/add shelf and molding 500 actual 300

We came in at a whopping $30 under budget. Woo hoo! I'll take it. I do have a few more things I would love to do in the future. I hope we can start on them sooner than later. Right now we have decided to put renovations on hold and use the money we could spend on renovations for family travel when the kids have breaks from school.
xoxo,
