The simple things – Installing a toe kick for kitchen cabinets

This post is on the embarrassing side for a DIY blogger. I will not take the blame on how long this took though. I blame the hubby since most of our kitchen delays are due to him. We started our kitchen renovation in 2011. We made major progress and ended up with a pretty finished space with the exception of installing the IKEA toe kick on our cabinets.

It is really not a big deal but it drove me crazy. Cleaning under the cabinets, the ugly cabinet feet showing, and dragging the cat from under the cabinets on a regular basis were enough to drive me to nagging. And nagging I did. This is a project I would have done on my own MONTHS ago but I needed him to use the table saw at work to trim down the pieces to fit. So I stared at this gap forever….

KitchenToeKickI’m happy to announce that after maybe 45 minutes of work that looked something like this…

We ended up with finished edge under our cabinets. Woohoo!KitchenToeKick2 I know the cat is probably pissed beyond belief that she cannot crawl under there anymore but I am happy.

KitchenToeKick4Stay tuned. I still have not done a full reveal of our kitchen but I’m prepping to do it soon. Just need needs a few finishing touches. Do you have any projects that have taken forever to finish?
