Kitchen Sink: Before and After

faucet on left was rusted on good, circa 1960. had to remove the entire sink to hack off the attachments. that was fun, sheesh! then i decided to remove the broken garbage disposal at the same time, so again this took many hours and a new drain pipe later to finish. (all with help from jay!) "new" faucet on the right was found (and free!) on a sink in the back yard that someone had left. the sprayer leaks, which is a bummer, but it's about an $80 faucet head, so i was happy to have found it!

Process: The Kitchen

some of you know that i now live in a place that is accepting of power tools and working spaces, the san mateo eco-village. i have a little space out on our landing that i can do all this work. it's great! so this is our kitchen that i'm almost done refinishing. stripped the paint off all the cabinet faces and hardware, painted the molding. it's looking pretty darn fresh. i love that i finally have an outlet that i can make things and get my hands dirty again.
