Project Summary

Redid our kitchen from an old, dark, dingy kitchen to a new, white, bright, awesome kitchen.
New fake wood floor, new countertop, and white paint on the cabinets.

We did the cabinets first and just sanded them all down, primed them once or twice and painted them with a semi-gloss paint from Sears. New hardware and hinges and it all looks great.

Next we did the counter. A blue denim type pattern from Menards. Installed fine but the corner didn't work so well. It's not totally even and I couldn't get it flat. Oh well.

Floor was done in one night due to a party the next day. Started after work and finished at like 3AM. Don't recall the brand but was a special. Each piece looks like 2 slats. Didn't tear up the original floor. Just put the blue foam padding type thing down and the floor right over it.

Don't recall the pricing but cabinets was just $40 or so for a gallon of primer and a gallon of paint. Counter was probably $100 or so. Flooring was obviously more but was well under $1,000 if memory serves. Just gotta shop around for a nice sale.

Thanks for looking.

What do you think of Madonna for Louis Vuitton?http://www.good-handbag.com Check out the first look at the Louis Vuitton(http://www.good-handbag.com/) ads featuring Madonna! It was rumored that Madonna would be appearing in Louis Vuitton (http://www.good-handbag.com/) Spring/Summer 2009 ads and those rumors proved to be true. The shots were taken in a French Bistro setting and shot by Fashion photographer Steve
Meisel. After watching a Madonna concert, Marc Jacobs decided to choose Madonna as their new image model.Designer Marc Jacobs said, I just blurted out, I think we should do Madonna. I was totally just blown away by it, and moved by her performance, by what she had to say, and her
energy.Reportedly with this deal Madonna bagged $10 million for the campaign, but that is also said to be a rumor.(http://www.good-handbag.com/)

What a difference, it looks great! I just wish there had been some notes made on the project such as- materials used, cost, etc. This is close to my plans for my own (rented) kitchen, so this info would be handy. But, great job!
