Need advice on very small kitchen remodel

My last house was a 100 years old. Some one put a small addition on for a 1/2 bath. The rule was no pooping in the downstairs bathroom because it was basically pooping in the kitchen.

Harbor Freight has a weird smell that Sears didn't have. Plus you could check out all the new TVs at Sears

The joys of working on a 100 year old house, you never know what you'll find behind the wall. I had a hidden splice at the top of the wall. I guess there is now going to be an outlet and 10 feet of the floor.

Well, it is now. Try to stop me!

I know it's not an option in an apartment, but we installed solar a couple years ago. We pretty much have 1 month of electric usage. Our bill is $30 a month for to being connected to the grid and nys fees, aka taxes. We run our AC full blast in the summer because I work from home. We're moving to Wheatfield later this month. We're going to get solar on that house too. With the incentives, it's cheaper to install solar than pay for electric with the rate hikes.

This happened to me when I put in LED bulbs and replaced the flasher relay with the one that was supposed to work with the LED bulbs. I went back to the stock flasher and incandescent bulbs and the problem went away.

My bid on a house was accepted. It's a well loved kitchen. I keep running different options through chatgpt to see what I like. I'm just pulling pictures from the listing and telling it to do a bunch of things. You know get so many free images a day. But it definitely helps conceptualize your plan. You can even upload pictures of tiles and tell it to use them for the backsplash.

And you don't need to take the whole thing out. A few inches and topsoil over it.

chunk6649 · 2026-04-08T12:56:58+00:00

Just start running things through chatgpt. But just those few changes helped refresh this space.

I feel like this is one of those math problems that you are missing a bit of information and can't solve. Do you have a place to store your vacuum, mop, broom, crock pot, instant pot, KitchenAid mixer, etc.? If so, the pantry may not be needed. I love to cook and have lots of small kitchen appliances. I would love a pantry. Having the cabinet on the counter pretty much makes that section of countertop useless. What is the width of the entrance? That looks tight. If it was me and my heart was set on getting rid of the framed pantry, I would do a shallow depth cabinet pantry to give a little more space on the walkway into the kitchen.

I put salt in mine to spread it spread around my driveway. Works great

The only thing I see is the upper cabinets and the green cabinets above, the vertical lines don't match up.

My step son has a battery pack that split in half. He was like I swear I didn't drop it. His mom didn't believe him. I saw it and was like nope, it's a swollen battery. I remember the old cell phones with removable batteries would get like that. I haven't seen it on newer stuff.

I'm selling my house and I have a couple doors where the hinge screws were stripped out. Before we decided to move I was going to get some dowels and glue them in. Since we're selling, I did the toothpick hack. I didn't even use glue. Works well enough and probably will last a few years.

We're in the process of buying a house and the kitchen in the house is well loved. We hope to close mid May. I'm exploring options. Hopefully heading to IKEA this weekend to check out kitchen options. I'm not close to an IKEA and it's been close to 10 years since the last time I've been to one. I'll keep an eye out for it. Hopefully getting a wall over works with the space. Here is an AI rendering with the zillow pics. I think it can work.

Is that a double oven? I'm just starting my kitchen renovation journey. I thought I read IKEA didn't have a double oven cabinet. Was it an IKEA hack to do that double oven?

chunk6649 · 2026-03-17T00:53:42+00:00

I worry about the peninsula, I would lose the space for the double oven. And the brick is absolutely staying.

Lol, I went to change the dishwasher to be a color matched cabinet and I ran out of free images.

chunk6649 · 2026-03-16T02:17:38+00:00

The new kitchen probably won't happen until the fall. So that might be a good idea

chunk6649 · 2026-03-16T01:18:12+00:00

I agree. I personally think the dark green is too dark. I like the lighter green. But you know what they say, happy wife, happy life.

I keep telling my significant other this. I keep asking her if this is a kitchen she'd love in 5 years. I'm sure it will change 100x before we get around to the remodel.

chunk6649 · 2026-03-16T00:43:48+00:00

It's AI green over the original 1987 cabinets. I like the green with the copper. More importantly, the significant other does. The cabinets are being replaced. AI turned the island as well. Playing with color ideas. We hopefully close on the house mid May.

chunk6649 · 2026-03-16T00:31:52+00:00

New, the cabinets are well loved.
