A few years ago i bought a very run down mobile home and i started rebuilding it from the steel/iron frame up. Ill include a few pics of the in between in the comments, but this is my kitchen finally completed. I rehabbed some used cabinets and built a good bit of them from scratch as well as the cabinet doors. This is my first time building anything at this level. Many mistakes were made, but i learned alot.

What paint did you use for the blue cabinets?

I used valspar signature latex, but i forget the name of the color. It may have been a mistake, since the internet says you should use an enamel on cabinets for toughness, but no issues yet.

Holy crap! I never would have known it started out in that bad condition. You could barely tell it was a house! Amazing work.

I’m curious though, this seems very bit for what I imagine when I hear “mobile home”. Just how big is the house and how exactly would you go about moving it?

Thanks! People call them different things depending on location. Mobile home/trailer house/ house trailer/trailer. I never know which one to use. We always called them trailers. Its right at 1000sq ft. And you have to have a licensed hauling company move it.

The butcher block counter tops look great! Nice blue color along with the wood accent above the micro/hood … chef’s kiss. Looks very professional. You should be proud of what you’ve accomplished!

There are people who say “you can’t make a silk purse from a sows ear”…

They never met you. Clearly.

Well done! Truly a marvel!! 🫡
