The kitchen is finally finished! There are still a few more things to touch up, but for the most part it is done! Brentan and I unpacked all of our kitchen things, and set up shop in the kitchen. I forgot that I own so many kitchen accessories. I just have too many! (But I'm going to love being able to use them again.)
So here are the official before and after shots:

And this is a better picture of the color we painted the walls. Do you like it? I didn't know if I liked it at first. It is very vibrant, and is definitely growing on me.

ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful! I love the happy apple green color, especially against your crisp white cabinets. I bet you smile everytime you walk into your new space. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the wall color - especially since there is the white of the cabinets and the dark counters to balance it out.
ReplyDeleteWow wow wow! Thanks for all of the comments! I am so excited that you all like my kitchen updates.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I did all the work on this project, without the help of professionals. Just to clarify a few things on what changed:
-Primed and painted the cabinets white
-Tore out a tile counter top and replaced it with one from Ikea
-Retiled the backsplash with white subway tile
-Installed under cabinet lighting from Ikea
-Painted the walls green
And we did it all for about $5000. Saved so much by doing it ourselves!
I only have one word to describe your kitchen 'GORGEOUS"... wow what a difference... great job... you and hubby must be so proud
ReplyDeleteso pretty. I love the color on the walls. And your tile is to die for. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThat kitchen looks beautiful! What a great transformation.
