DIY Tuesday - The Microwave Project

Ok, this DIY project actually started a few weeks ago, and was finished last week, but after finishing it, I was just too tired to post about it! Kyle was kind of upset though that it wasn't up, so here we go.

It started when our built in to the wall microwave went out. Seeing as how we are still a little on the poor side, we did NOT have the $600 it would take to replace the microwave and the trim around the microwave. After many measurements and a lot of swearing at the old microwave, the project began! We went to Target first, and purchased a microwave for $80. Then, it was off to Lowe's! We purchased some wall moulding, nails, and then got to work! We installed the microwave, installed the moulding, spackled, caulked, sanded, and painted, and when we were done, we had a beautiful custom trimmed microwave! I'm pretty pround of this one. Here's some pictures from the project:
