The Kitchen Project...Finished

The kitchen remodel is final finished! What a pain! This whole project seriously took way more work than I thought it would take but I am definitely glad we did it. It feels like a brand new house now. Now here is the kitchen before. This picture was actually from the listing when our house was up for sale.

Here it is after!
This is what we did:

1.       New appliances, including a built in microwave (gotta save counter space!)

2.     Installed a dishwasher

3.       Light fixtures

4.       Added a peninsula with new countertops

5.       Replaced old hinges and added pulls on all the cabinets and drawers

6.       Updated kitchen faucet

7.       Used beadboard as a backsplash

8.       Painted trim to match the rest of the house, Behr Creamy White

9.       Beadboard is painted Behr Country Beige and the walls are painted Behr Cornsilk

 Here’s a close up of the kitchen sink area.

Dining room after.
There is a ton of finishing touches to do to personalize the space but right now I am taking a break from the kitchen. The only thing that’s going to happen in there these next few months is baking and cooking. Now about that bathroom...

  2. Hi there Amanda... I just got your note about my coat rack at La Maison Boheme. I got it at IKEA, if you can believe it. It was 9.99 and they still have them. In fact, I bought an extra thinking that I'd use one elsewhere. So if you can't find it, I'd be more than happy to send you my extra one. You can contact me at lamaisonboheme at gmail dot com.

  3. LOVE this kitchen redo! I'm wanting to change the trim in our home from a manufactured oak-ish color to white & switch out our cheap fake wood doors to pretty white ones. But I'm worried that it wont look right with the oak cabinets. The cabinets are beautiful & I don't want to mess with them, but the trim and doors don't even match each other. Thank you for the inspiration!
