Name: Chuck.

Location: Florida.

Make and Model of Home: 1985 Palm Harbor.

The Project: Mobile Home Kitchen Upgrade including stripping the walls and gutting the entire kitchen.

One of our readers, Chuck has been kind enough to share his jaw-dropping mobile home kitchen upgrade with us, and we are thrilled! However, this isn’t just a remodel job though. This was a complete upgrade of the mobile home kitchen. Here’s a look at before:

A typical older mobile home kitchen.

We have included a drawing that Chuck did to outline the project. As we have mentioned before, planning is one of the most important steps in a successful remodeling. Chuck also sent us a drawing of what he hoped the finished kitchen would look like. He definitely nailed it!

A great way to size up your space.

The goal of the finished project.

As you can see from the finished product, Chuck was able to see the vision of his mobile home kitchen update through to the end. It is nothing short of amazing! From the granite countertops, the state of the art appliances, down to the gorgeous floor this kitchen is fantastic.

Love this idea for a spice drawer.

Great use of storage.

Stainless steel appliances throughout.

Look at those countertops.

Love the sink placement.

The Mobile Home Kitchen Upgrade According to Chuck:

Tell us a little about yourself: I have been a wood crafter and cabinet maker hobbyist for the past 45 years.

About your home: We bought it as our retirement home and realized everything was old and outdated and needed to be replaced.

Total Cost of the project: $16,000

Tools and materials used: Pretty much every tool I have accumulated over the years (and a few that I borrowed).

Proudest DIY moment: When the granite installers came to install the countertops and have them tell me that the cabinet installation was one of the best they had ever seen.

Biggest Challenge: Removing the wall that separated the kitchen and living room, and leveling the replacement floor. Also, this project was right after Hurricane Irma, so supplies were sometimes hard to come by.

Tearing out the walls.

Replacing the subfloor before putting new flooring down.

Favorite room: For now, definitely the kitchen. However, every part of the updated mobile home is special!

Any advice you would like to share: If you are thinking about buying a mobile home, be sure to check the “bones” of the home before buying. If the structure is sound, and you plan on remodeling it make an offer lower than the asking price. Be prepared for problems that you might not have seen at first. Issues may be hiding behind the walls or under the flooring.

Future Plans: Currently working on a Florida room (screened in porch). Next, we will be installing a complete murphy bed unit for the guest bedroom.

We want to thank Chuck for sharing his mobile home kitchen upgrade with us. We look forward to seeing more of his mobile home projects in the future.
