We had our kitchen remodeled about a year after we moved in. It had not been updated other than some cosmetic changes since the house was built in 1959. We used our basement laundry room as a make shift kitchen and ate our share of sawdust during that time but it sure was worth it. We've been loving it ever since. Take a look!
Here is the before - YIKES!

The kitchen is at the front of the house with a lot of windows. It's really nice to be able to see everything that is going on and it's easy to watch for the school bus in the mornings.
Let me know what you think. I chose everything myself so you can imagine the anxiety and nail biting that was done hoping it would all come together. **I would LOVE to hear from!** Your comments are really appreciated!

What a wonderful serene kitchen. Love the colors and the backsplash. Thanks so much for sharing this at my party. Just to let you know you should copy and paste the blog post title and not the comments. When we click on your party link it goes straight to your comments instead of the beginning of the post.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your lovely kitchen for my Room Tours!! You did a great job - it looks amazing! Room Tours is a new feature for my blog and I haven't yet promoted it (although as you know you can see the tours if you look around!) Hopefully by next week my readers will be introduced to the tours and will be coming by to visit you!!
ReplyDeleteFound you thru Melissa's blog - and girl, you had me at that beautiful backsplash. LOVE. Great transformation. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I found you via The Inspired Room. I'm most impressed with you picking everything out. To redo my kitchen is such an overwhelming thought - - you 'hit it' with yours tho!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through a friend. I LOVE your kitchen! I've been looking around for inspiration for mine. We bought the house I grew up in from my mom last year and have flipped a lot of it. Still have much to go. I am about to strip the varnish, sand, and paint our kitchen cabinets. I WANT THE COLOR ON YOUR CABINETS. Did you paint or replace them? If you painted do you remember the color you used? I hope you see this comment. I don't know how old your post is.
Thanks!

Your kitchen is just gorgeous! Sure love that open shelf.
ReplyDeleteI love what you've done with your kitchen. I love the cabinets and the color of the cabinets. I redid my kitchen last year and just redid the counters, sink, floors and had the cabinets painted white. It made a huge difference cause our kitchen had the original sink and yucky counters. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this kitchen remodel! I'm in the process of planning my Northern Virginia kitchen remodeling, and I've been so attached to the idea of doing a 1950s retro-style kitchen with pale yellow and robin's-egg-blue appliances (like your KitchenAid mixer!!). The more I scan through pictures of other remodeling projects, the more giddy I get to start my own...but the kitchen is my favorite room of the house, so I've got to make sure I do exactly what I want with it! I just love the nostalgia and fun colors of the 1950s era; but would I want it as my entire kitchen? *sigh, darn this indecisiveness! Oh well - thank you for the ideas! I can't wait to settle on a plan and get started! :D
