Its a great kitchen with a cool back splash, but half the counter top space is taken up with personal items.

I would recommend having a professional do it so that the final sheen matches the rest of the countertop.

Here are the items still to be finished:- flooring- countertops- bathrooms - faucets, showerheads, accessories, etc- any other associated plumbing, electrical, or clean up workI'd greatly appreciate any advice!

Their house is fairly basic—carpet throughout, laminate floors/countertops, standard appliances.

Or removing the countertop which is all Formica with a matching Formica backsplash.

I am trying to figure out how a gut rehab of an apartment can only cost $2,500 to $3,000, including a washer and dryer and Refrigerator, and stove, and dishwasher, and kitchen cabinets, and counter tops and tile floors and bathroom fixtures, and painting, and electrical, and plumbing.  

Hey DonaldThis is from an experienced carpenter the base looks good from the photo pop off the countertop and replace it with a sheet of 3/4" plywood cut two drain holes for the drain of your new sink bowls countertop flush mount cover countertop with tile $100-150 for sink bowls & plumbing hardware@menards $75 for wood, tile and grout.

They've taken everything from pieces of glass to old vanities to old countertops. 

If you are in a decent location:- wood or vinyl plank floors- granite countertops- 2 tone paint- washer/dryer hookupsI get the granite done for about 650-900 dollars for kitchen and bath. 

I also plan on putting some money into the kitchen new counter tops/appliances, before putting it up for rent.
