Kitchen "After"

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:

After:

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.

  20. I love the wall color - especially since there is the white of the cabinets and the dark counters to balance it out.

  21. Wow wow wow! Thanks for all of the comments! I am so excited that you all like my kitchen updates.

    My 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!
