Affordable Modern Kitchen Entry: San Francisco Update
The next entry in our Affordable Modern Kitchen Contest comes from San Francisco, were with a little elbow grease and some skill Sam was able to update his kitchen to a clean new look for under 10K.
We bought an old (1913) house in San Francisco last year. It was in terrible shape, so I basically had to gut the kitchen and start from scratch. I used pros for cabinets, plumbing, electrical and floors, but did most of the remaining work myself. I kept costs down by ordering supplies myself. Also, we found a great handyman and I was able to work with him on several projects (built in bench, custom table). I did all of the finishing wok myself (paint, trim install, plaster, doors). We’re still working on the house, but I think the kitchen has come together very nicely! You can see before and after pics on flickr. The pics are pretty recent-ish, but since I took them we’ve made a few more improvements…I wonder if we’ll EVER be done with this house!
Approx cost: Under 10K

I absolutely love the grey color on your walls. May I ask what brand/shade of paint it is?
i love how the range doesn’t have a upward jutting back and blends almost seamlessly with the countertop. maybe i should reconsider having a range, which would open my affordable countertop options greatly. hmm.
see, this is why i love this contest. it makes me think. thanks!
in fact, what kind of range is that?
Great job. Liam I believe it is a KitchenAid Architect Series 2. I have the same one. I also have similar cabinets going in in the next few weeks. The red is also very close to the red accent walls in our kitchen (Benjamin Moore Raspberry Truffle). The final similarity is the Stokke Tripp Trap high chair (except my daughter has the Tails cushions on hers). Great space it gives me better insight as to what mine will look like when it is done.
