Hi, I love the color of your vinyl plank flooring! It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. Do you know what brand and color it is? I’d probably have to paint my cabinets and the well since mine are very much the same color of your pre-painted. Your kitchen remodel looks amazing and at so little cost! I love your videos and am a newbie minimalist. Looking forward to a whole new house and so grateful for all the work you put into helping others live more simply! ❣️Joann
It looks great!! I noticed that you moved your lower cabinet to the other side of the fridge to make more countertop space all in one spot. Such a neat idea! I wondered what you did to connect the countertops? Do you have a seam?
Most people missed that!! There is a seam, but Tom lined them up well and put a little caulk in the gap and you can’t tell. Someday we may replace that piece, it would cost around $75, but for now it works!!
