Love the new look and stayed on budget.
Kitchen - the new look
Kitchen sinks
Picking a new sink was fun. I went from a double stainless to a beautiful black farmhouse style.
This sink fit into the existing cutout. I didn't have to make any adjustments to the counter. It's large and deep. Also has easy removal holes where faucet and accessories go.
KRAUS Forteza 33” Granite Kitchen Sink, Black
This sink was beautiful but it was going to be too much work to modify my counter. Had I been replacing them this would have been my choice.
Mocoloo 33"x21" Black Double Bowl Farmhouse Sink
This was also a top contender but I wanted to go with a non sectioned sink.
KRAUS KGD-442 33” Dual Mount 60/40 Granite Sink
All things for painting
Paint and painting products used.
This paint literally is all in one. I did not prime or sand cabinets before use and they turned out beautiful. I was even painting over black it only took 2 coats.
ALL-IN-ONE Paint, London (Green Gray), 32 Fl Oz
I used this on my pantry and trim.
Rust-Oleum 369383 Advanced Dry Door & Trim Paint
This is one of my favorite products. It saved me so much time not having to tape everything.
Edward Tools 12” Stainless Steel Paint Trim Guard
I bought this kit because it has many different sizes. It worked perfect. *fun fact did you know if you tape your roller then pull it off you won't get all those fuzzies in your paint* this was new to me but worked perfect.
Pro Grade Paint Roller Cover Set (10 Piece)
Kitchen Sink Faucets
Faucets that I considered for my new sink.
Nice quality just looked a little too modern for the rest of my kitchen.
Kitchen Faucet w/ Pull Down Sprayer Nickel
This was the winner out of the Faucets we looked at. I love the Pull Down feature so that I don't have to have a separate Sprayer.
Brushed Nickel Kitchen Faucet with Pull Down
I wasn't a fan of the harsh design. This is very similar to the faucet I chose, I just prefer the more soft rounded look.
Delta Keele Spotshield Kitchen Faucet, 19824LF-SP
Counter top ideas
This was a budgeted renovation I knew I wanted to change the look but wasn't sure how. Here are the products I considered.
I love this! It was super simple to install. It's held up amazing. I did use a blow dryer on the corners to give it a tighter fit or get any small bubbles out.
Peel and Stick Wood Contact Paper for Countertops
This is a great concept however it was just a lot of work and wait time. I didn't want to wait a day pr two for it to dry.
Giani Granite Countertop Paint Kit 2.0 (Bombay Black)
I also priced out countertops at home depot. These were beautiful but would have aadded a lot of work and extra costs I didn't want to spend.
6 ft. L x 25 in. D Engineered Composite Countertop in Black Amani with Satin Finish
Finishing touches
Added decore and special products to complete the look.
Used rug in front of the kitchen sink.
Othilic Boho Moroccan Area Rug, 2x3 Washable
I have a hard time remembering to water plants (mom brain) so this gives that aesthetic look without the upkeep.
Flojery Mini Potted Artificial Eucalyptus Plants
Love it to wash bottles and my kids think it's a new toy so they don't mind helping with the dishes. It's the best investment I made.
Cup/bottle cleaner
Bought these to tie in with the black and white rug.
KitchenAid Albany Towel 4-Pack, Onyx Black/White
I previously had black Buffalo check so I wanted to try something different. They are light weight and good quality.
