We’re coming close to the end of the Ikea Kitchen Remodel. We did some clean up over the weekend. Prior to a kitchen remodel, you may want to just remove your blinds or wrap them in plastic. Granted, not all of this dust is attributable to the kitchen remodel but whoa, what a mess! With new white cabinets, our white appliances and white blinds needed a thorough cleaning.
Other things to consider before a kitchen remodel:
- If you are keeping your appliances or if the new ones have arrived, move them to another room during the remodel. They stay much cleaner.
- An air purifier may come in handy for all the dust that is generated during a remodel.
- Keep the dust contained by shutting off other rooms.
We picked out some knobs and handles for our Ikea Kitchen Cabinets and after the toe kicks went in, it was time for the hardware installation. Here’s Al getting dirty!
Here’s a photo of some of the handles and knobs on the cabinets.

Here’s a nice photo of most of the kitchen remodel complete with lighting.
You’ll notice here that we had to place the handle a little lower on these pull-out units. They are anchored at the bottom so work with that low center of gravity and not against it.
It’s all in the details. Jerry hit the registers with some spray paint to make them look new. Here’s the old vs. the new. The countertops are supposed to make their way in tomorrow!
