  • I have been waiting for months to do this project…
    One of the main design elements that I had always planned for this kitchen makeover were marble checkerboard floors. I’ve been obsessed with them for a while now and looking for the perfect place to use them in my apartment.
    When the idea of redoing my kitchen first arose, I knew I had found my place.
    Unfortunately, I also knew I had a lot of other projects to complete before I could get these new floors down…
    But the day has come.
    This kitchen has completely transformed!

    I am so confused as to why any landlord would have you turn this place back to its original state. You have turned this place into a showplace!

    • @elizabethturel78
      @elizabethturel78 Před 26 dny +3

      Having owned hundreds of apartments; I understand the landlord. You buy bulk paint, so all the apartments are alike; touch ups and so on. It has to be this way to be efficient for repairs. I still remember a tenant who painted a radiator red in the children’s room🤦🏻‍♀️

    Beautiful job! I completely agree about the two wooden floors. I HATE when I see wooden floors stop and the change direction. It looks horrible. The only reason I can think of someone doing this is to be cheap and safe on flooring. I dunno. It makes no sense to me and it's so distracting and ugly. Kudos for covering that!

    Thanks for using the vinyl marble tiles! I have some samples of the textured ones and was nervous about doing it. But you made it look so easy. I’m going to practice on the little powder room off the kitchen and see how it goes first. Then dive into the kitchen. I priced out having the real thing done professionally in my kitchen. The ceramic tiles that are an exact match for the vinyl were pretty reasonable. But the installation cost was outrageous and was about 10x the cost of the tiles themselves. So I got the vinyl ones, found that they are an exact dupe for the ceramic and figure if I make a mistake, I’m only out a couple hundred dollars than $2500.
