Kitchen finally and bathroom

I have finished with the Kitchen make-over. I am very grateful for my brother-in-law's (Lauro) help. If it were not for him, I would still be working on it. Since the last batch of pictures, a hole was cut in the wall to the living room and the counter-top was cut and glued into place. The hole in the wall was the easy part. It is about 3.5 ft by 5 ft.  The amount of light has increased and I can see the TV from the kitchen.

The blue that you see through the opening is in the front bedroom, past the living room and the hallway.


The one thing that I dreaded was the the ceiling would cave in when we cut the wall studs. Luckily that did not happen.

The counter top looks like granite but it is faux granite. I bought this at the Habitat store in San Antonio in September. It sat in the driveway until last Saturday when it found its home. It does not sit perfectly because we installed on the original counter, and that was far from level.




Bathroom
Some time back the bathroom had been remodeled to make it ADA accessible for my aunt. So, this room simply needed a paint job. I used the very light yellow from the cabinets for the walls and a contrast color on the wall facing the toilet. I tried to match the color from the frames already in the room. I think it looks great. I also removed the existing and unneeded medicine cabinet. I will start looking for a different faucet set.




Hallway
There is not much to see other than the shiny painted surface of the hall that leads from the bathroom to what was my aunt's room.
