A few years ago i bought a very run down mobile home and i started rebuilding it from the steel/iron frame up. Ill include a few pics of the in between in the comments, but this is my kitchen finally completed. I rehabbed some used cabinets and built a good bit of them from scratch as well as the cabinet doors. This is my first time building anything at this level. Many mistakes were made, but i learned alot.
What paint did you use for the blue cabinets?
I used valspar signature latex, but i forget the name of the color. It may have been a mistake, since the internet says you should use an enamel on cabinets for toughness, but no issues yet.
Thanks!
Holy crap! I never would have known it started out in that bad condition. You could barely tell it was a house! Amazing work.
I’m curious though, this seems very bit for what I imagine when I hear “mobile home”. Just how big is the house and how exactly would you go about moving it?
Thanks! People call them different things depending on location. Mobile home/trailer house/ house trailer/trailer. I never know which one to use. We always called them trailers. Its right at 1000sq ft. And you have to have a licensed hauling company move it.
The butcher block counter tops look great! Nice blue color along with the wood accent above the micro/hood … chef’s kiss. Looks very professional. You should be proud of what you’ve accomplished!
Thanks! I am very proud of it.
There are people who say “you can’t make a silk purse from a sows ear”…
They never met you. Clearly.
Well done! Truly a marvel!! 🫡
I had never heard that one before, but Thanks!
They say it in Mulan
Looks beautiful! Great work.
I have to admit I misread the title and thought it said “Kitten completed.” I’m a little disappointed by the lack of kittens in your kitchen now.
Thanks! Sorry to disappoint. The kittens are hiding.
Aww! I adore your puppy! 💖
Thanks! We love her. Shes about 15 years old and is the sweetest.
She’s a beautiful old lady!
You know, I’ve never seen someone buy one of those Whirlpool low profile WML55011’s in any situation where they had the option not to. It almost feels weird to see somebody finally mount one at the correct height, too.
Thanks! It wasn’t my first choice, but we had to make some concessions based on space. I wanted to keep the counters as free as possible and storage is at a premium so microwave hood vent it is. I just liked the profile of that one more than a full size one above the stove.
There’s so much of this that I love, but just curious, why the wood above the microwave?
Thanks! Mostly because it was cost effective. I had the boards already. I didn’t love the stain color, and still don’t, but my wife likes it, so it can stay.
I see you have yet to unbox the range
Yeah those kind open up like the mattress you get in the mail where upon opening the vacuum sealed box the entire thing just balloons outward
That would be cool, but for now its just a box of old cookware.
I lol’ed at your comment. Good job!
Very good looking, congrats!
Thanks!
Wow. What an amazing transformation! Great job.
Thanks!
Looks great!
You may want to watch Smash Lab Season 1 Episode 3. They made a mobile home hurricane/tornado/fire proof, using carbon fiber.
I will look up that episode. Thanks!
Fantastic work!
Thanks!!
Awesome outcome.
Thanks!
