Earlier this week, we excitedly shared the before and afters of the Fullmer kitchen! We’ve done several kitchens over the years at a variety of price points and we’re excited to the Fullmer kitchen to our portfolio! I wasn’t originally going to share a budget breakdown of this one because it wasn’t my budget to share, but the Fullmer’s gave their blessing. It definitely came in as the most expensive kitchen we’ve ever done (we included donated products in the overall price, but put an asterisk next to those), but we still saved a TON of money doing most of the work ourselves.
Here’s a little trip down memory lane so you can check out the other kitchens we’ve done at a variety of price points. You can click through to see the full budget breakdown of each:
This Baltimore kitchen we did in a weekend for $4555! Appliances and cabinets included!
This Pittsburgh kitchen we did for $13,864 all in.
The kitchen in our last home was an extensive renovation we did for right around $28,000.
And the Fullmer’s kitchen came in at $48,676. The higher end appliances definitely attributed to the price tag, but also really made the kitchen!
Here’s how the budget broke down (I put an asterisk** next to the items that were donated by our partners. Most of these were brands that we worked with for the cabin and wanted to work with us again—-or things we got for the cabin and donated–:
Cabinet boxes: Ikea Sektion boxes $4,000
Windows: Pella $900
Gas line $400
Countertops: Silestone Ariel Quartz $5,200
Stools $1,000
Exterior Brick patching after making the window smaller $900

Hi! obsessed with this kitchen remodel!! Can you elaborate on the beams? What do you mean “coming for sale soon”? Is this something you are adding to the shop??
Thank you!!
Gorgeous. I’d like details on the light wood cabinets. Color, stain, where they’re from, etc.
Also, a look for less would also be wonderful.
I linked the cabinet front sources in the list and check out this post for look for less!
Gonna chime in with everyone else and say yes please on the look for less post!! (Especially a similar look for that light!) Thanks so much for this post. You guys are always my first stop when I am planning a reno because of how honest you are.
Julia, question about the tile for you. In the Fullmer kitchen photos, it appears to have a really pretty sheen/gloss to it, but when clicking the link, it appears to look more matte (especially in one of their example photos with the darker grout). 1. Did you do something to make it glossier or is it just not represented well in the linked website? And 2. If you purchased online by the photos, did you anticipate it to be more matte and when it arrived it had more gloss to it? I absolutely LOVE it in the Fullmer kitchen but looking at it on the website where it’s sold, I would never have been able to imagine the outcome of how it looks in the Fullmer kitchen. Beautiful job!
It’s pretty glossy when light shines on it (they have a huge window right across from the kitchen!) and I love the look.
Thank you for posting the real cost of this! HGTV shows the kitchen Reno’s that cost “$10k” and there’s no way in hell the cos ist that! Seeing the real cost helps to better understand how much things actually cost and what to expect to get with your money
