Kitchen Renovations

Our house was built in the early 1990’s so while it has a great layout, it needs some updating. This is our first home and we have put a lot of love into it. We enjoy entertaining and the kitchen is always where people seem to gather. While it was functional, it was also bit of an eyesore. So we wanted to do a small (AKA cheap) reno to give it back some life.
 
We did four main things:

1. Repainted the cabinets and added new hardware
2. Extended our existing island
3. Replaced the old laminate countertops with new Butcher Block ones
4. Updated the lighting

 
I have detailed steps for 1, 2 and 3 in the guide.
