Robin and Joel's Kitchen Remodel (Finish rear entry)

prev next


We reinsulated the rear entry and put the old kitchen buffet in. Then we split the closet from the back bedroom to create a broom closet.

The closet on the rear bedroom was almost 6 feet deep. There was a lot of space that was not usable. We cut a hole in the wall from the rear entry to add a broom closet. Then we walled off the closet to make two usable ones. We had to add some flooring to fill up the gap. Robin and I searched high and low for a door to fit. Robin found it. (Notice how Cliff is in all the pictures that work is getting done in. We can't say thank you enough!)

The big item for the rear entry was reusing the original kitchen buffet. Cliff stripped the old varnish off and put on a new finish. Then we hung it up and started to use it. It is a really nice piece of cabinetry.
