Kitchen Overhaul

Unfortunately, I live in a very old house right now and of course old houses mean lots of renovation and maintenance. The faucet had been constantly leaking on the kitchen sink for a very long time and we figured that it was time to put in a new counter and sink.

Here is a picture of the old one:



As you can see the cabinets are very antique. I just love the linoleum on the counter top! Some of which you can see we peeled up. I have no intentions of replacing the ones up top but the ones on the bottom definitely need an overhaul. I cleaned out the entire area with my son yesterday and the hubby went to work at dismantling them. We got a fairly good deal on a counter top and some sink hardware. Luckily we happened to have a nice stainless steel double basin sink hanging around as we had originally intended on using it for another renovation that never happened.

This house is only temporary, thank goodness so we're not going to pour too much money into the job. We just need something convenient and functional for now.
