Before and "After" Bachelor-Apartment Kitchenette Remodel
I moved into an bachelor-style apartment in early 2011 and needed a kitchen(ette). The stove and oven have yet to be chosen for this tiny space but it's been working out well so far. I built this by myself over the course of about a week.

Since this is an apartment and not a condo, I cannot make any permanent changes. Both the mirror and the vanity remain as they are, undamaged and hidden inside the new cabinets. In addition, this "remodel" cost only about $533, including the appliances (still short a Induction Stovetop 1-2 burners and countertop "oven")
...This is about what its adding up to so far 7 + 77 + 26 + 32 + 74 + 60 + + 8 + 152 + 30 + 20 = 486 + 9. 75% tax = ~$533
