I am most likely having to sell our little homestead rather unexpectedly and wouldn't hate some opinions on a project that I am not sure is worth completing.

I recently installed a coffee bar with a new lower cabinet and backsplash that I planned to also do the kitchen in. I was going to do it all myself probably this September when I have the whole month off, because the quotes to paint were around like $7000 due to so much grain needing to be filled on them. I already have all the materials on hand, but the labor for this job would easily set me back $10k, and I don't know if it is worth it, although it would make our whole lower level match.

The cabinets would go from dark oak to green and white and the backsplash would go from generic tile to zellige and I would have a simple custom box vent hood installed and remove the over counter microwave.

The home/property is in SETX and has a lot to offer and is so niche due to the size and other amenities I am just not sure it is worth it to drop the coin just before we sell, especially with it being a tough market right now.

The picture attached is what I installed recently as well as a pic of the kitchen. To me it is functional and not worth it but my wife really wants to finish it, but I have to look at it in a purely numbers manner.

Oh and the plan would also be to take out the cabinets to the left and right of the microwave and put in floating shelves with some wormy maple I already have on hand as well.

Agree.

Agree, and the new homeowners may want to keep it oak or paint it something else, so might as well leave as-is. You just need to get her looking at the new places soon to get her mind off the old place

Coffee bar looks great. Good luck with the sale/move, hope it's good news

Yeah I like the coffee bar but that green is a pretty bold color. Someone may not like it just as much or more than the oak cabinets.

It's way darker in person than it looks in the photos. More hunter green, but one of my favorite colors ever.

Agree with everyone here though that we hold off on it. Needed some support in my corner.

And yes, very good news on reason for surprise sale.

Well….spill it!

Ya right this is what I want to know.

Looks like I will be getting my dream job halfway across the country in a much more timely manner than I anticipated, so I want to try and get the house sold before the summer is out and we lose the selling season. Very unexpected timeline for us. Very exciting.
