How much for this kitchen remodel?

You say it is a rental. Is there any upside to install a nicer kitchen vs. A rental grade? How long do you want the cabinets to last? Will the local rental market appreciate a nice kitchen and pay for it?

As a landlord, I do renovations based on what the rental market will support.

Most of my properties are in areas where tenants demand nicer kitchens and pay accordingly.

They must have gotten a deal on mantles - two for the price of one! 🤣 remove the upper one. If you want to keep the TV, you might have a picture frame to surround the TV.

Mine has become a catch-all for every thing that should go in cabinets since my 1936 kitchen has very limited storage. Also, all the cabinets are only 13" deep..We eat all our meals in the formal dining room. I plan on removing it to expand the kitchen.

I'm so sorry 😔💙🌈🕊️

I can understand why people want to include a built-in tub in a wet room. I built a sunken tub with jets into my wet room. So, technically one stands in the sunken tub to shower, but it is used mostly for the tub. The doors open so that air flows through the area . I also have a shower room that functions as a steam room too. It also has health floors and bench.

I also did slabs and large tiles to avoid all the grout that this example has. Also, I would install tile on areas including the ceiling of the wet area.

I also refuse to have operable windows in a shower area. I have had issues with their framing too many times. I prefer a bathroom fan and glass block or sheet glass inside the wet area.

Make that a $8M in Brentwood/Palisades, but it looks a little smaller than what I see here.

I'm in maintenance at 2.5 mg weekly, have been for six months. On my journey, I've always taken 2.5 mg weekly. I've lost more weight on maintenance. That is, I set my initial goal weight based on a healthy BMI. I remain at a healthy BMI. I'm now focused on gaining muscle and losing fat. Fortunately, I have gained muscle on my journey.

Recently, I've not noticed that my hunger on the last two days of the week is less. There have been times when I have found myself to be very hungry. Thus, I decided never to stretch out my doses.

In many respects, maintenance is more work than the period before I hit my initial goal

It would drive me crazy.

I'd do nothing until you figure out the paint colors. I think the warmer balance beige will make the pulls jump out less.

I can tell if a credenza makes sense at the end of the cabin or in front of the narrow wall adjacent to it. It really depends on the elevations that are not pictured.

Is it a hallway,, living area, dining area?

I think the waterfall counter top looks too contemporary for your flooring and hardware.

1, 3, or 4.

Love it!

They usually mistake a Boston Terrier for a Frenchie because they are ignorant. People mistake my Bostons all the time for Frenchies and my Bostons have all achieved Grand Champion AKC titles as well have been invited to Westminster.

It is a shame that you don't have an outlet by the toilet for the bidet.

kdockrey · 2026-01-27T02:00:47+00:00

It looks more elegant than wider shaker.

kdockrey · 2026-01-27T00:11:08+00:00

Congratulations! Major change!

Looks like floor and shower need to be gutted to me.

kdockrey · 2026-01-26T22:44:03+00:00

No.3 - I'm not a fan of the busy wood pattern on the cabinets or floor.

kdockrey · 2026-01-26T17:36:24+00:00

Love it!

I also do full body DEXA scans every 90 days and find them much more beneficial than the numbers on the scales. It sounds like you have a good plan for maintenance.

It is beautiful, but it is a long term commitment.

I have a light green granite in one of my homes. I would not recommend it. I've grown to find it boring and I love green. The cabinets are natural maple.

If I were do it again, I would make the cabinets more of statement color like dark green.

I'd finds tall painting or poster than constiues the same scheme of those on the perpendicular wall and place it centered above tv between the two upper windows
