This is our kitchen remodel that spanned 6 years. We started in 2003 on our 1960's ranch style kitchen and had made pretty good progress by 2006. Then we had a big flood from a burst pipe while we were on vacation. Back to square one only this time in rapid mode. I designed and built pretty much everything in this kitchen and did all the work myself except lay the linoleum. I veneered all the cabinet parts the hard way by purchasing veneer, splicing it and laminating it. I fabricated all the back splashes and the countertops which are concrete, end grain butcher block or stained particle board. The whole project cost us less than $10,000.

Want to see the winner entries?
Fine Homebuilding editors are a finicky bunch, and opinionated too. So the task of narrowing down the nearly 150 entries from our “Before and After: What’s Old is New Again,” kitchen and bath contest to just five winners wasn’t easy.
After the field was narrowed down to a group of fifteen, the editors convened with coffee and notebooks into a conference room equipped with a projector (for easier viewing). After going back and forth, and sometimes cringing, a few entries kept rising above the others, and viola, we found our winners.
Thanks to all who entered, and congratulations to the winning participants who will be mailed a new, DeWalt 18V 1/2" XRP LiIon Hammerdrill/Drill/Driver kit.
