I’m FINALLY getting around to showing you the finished images of the small cottage kitchen remodel I completed at the beginning of this year. To review here is Part I and Part II of the remodel in case you missed them.

Lets get to it,

Some other views,

we kept the existing stove because it was in such great shape and its apartment size was perfect for the space

we had some available space next to the left of the stove, perfect for open shelving

And there you have it, a small kitchen, small budget renovation.

**Update**

A reader asked a great question about what kind of exterior work we had to do once we shortened the window over the sink. Before deciding to change or eliminate a window or door, make sure you check the view from the exterior to make sure things will look right on the outside and the inside. With an experienced carpenter or remodeler, patching the exterior can be just a few hours work. The exterior of the cottage is yellow vinyl siding that was installed maybe 10 years ago, odds are I wasn’t going to find an exact color match. I decided to pull some siding from the back side of the cottage that isn’t readily visible and patch the hole with the old siding and then get as close of a match as possible to replace what I had taken from the back. The hole has to be framed for the new window and then covered and insulated and then finally covered with whatever siding you have and then trimmed. When looking at the outside you cannot tell that the window was ever any different.

Do you love the sconce hanging over the kitchen sink?

Sarah went back to check her sources, and unfortunately that exact sconce is no longer in production. BUT, we did round a few alternate options below.

Thanks for playing,
