Miss Laura's on South Street


Went and had my hair cut today... love this little funky shop in JP on South Street... way hip and down to earth and affordable. Good vibe and you can't go wrong.

Affordable kitchen Renovation


Here is our gutted kitchen. We brought it to the studs.
Insulated with new walls


Cabinets going in


more cabinets and walls

Still haven't uncovered the cork floors, lots of lighting to add, some water hook-ups and cabinet pulls... ceiling needs more plaster, etc...

Over all this kitchen was very affordable:

Ikea cabinets: $2850
Appliances: $3000
Cork floor: $750.
Quartz counter: $2700
Sink: 250
vent fan: 290
faucet: 150
Insulation and walls: still figuring out
Labor: still figuring out but should be about $5k

We expect the total to be $13000.
