"First-time homeowners Michelle Samuels and EJ tackled small projects in their kitchen, like eliminating the "terrible panel light in the ceiling" and giving the backsplash tiles a DIY upgrade before hiring a contractor, pro painter, plumber, electrician, and cabinet installers to give their kitchen a major upgrade. During the pro portion, the layout of the 1990s-era kitchen was reworked a bit."
"Previously, "the old fridge was stuck in the corner by the doorway to the rest of the house and in-the-way, but with no other spot to put it," Michelle recalls. "There were mottled gray laminated particle board countertops that never looked clean and fake wood linoleum floors. The upper cabinets were original to the circa 1940s kitchen and in halfway decent shape, but most of the lower cabinets were IKEA boxes that had seen better days.""
"Michelle and EJ decided to use Boxco to upgrade their kitchen, and that's where they met their contractor, Dan Baker, along with Taylor Powell from Hill Street Concrete for their new countertops. "We had the heating company move the large steam radiator from one wall to another, so we could move the fridge to a spot that makes much more sense," Michelle explains."
First-time homeowners Michelle Samuels and EJ completed a staged kitchen transformation beginning with small DIY fixes like removing a panel ceiling light and updating backsplash tiles. They then hired Boxco, contractor Dan Baker, and trades including a pro painter, plumber, electrician, and cabinet installers to rework the 1990s layout. A large steam radiator was relocated to allow a more logical fridge placement. Old mottled gray laminated particle-board counters and fake wood linoleum were removed. New concrete countertops, checkerboard floor tile, reconfigured cabinets, and modern appliances were installed by Taylor Powell (Hill Street Concrete), Harvey Rivard (plumber), and Harry Kuenzel (electrician).
