Our Kitchen FINALLY!!

After five months I can finally do the reveal for our kitchen remodel. We still have some paint touch-ups to do where they pulled out our old countertop and scratched the new paint. And we have to put beadboard under the chair rail behind the kitchen table and the microwave station to cover up the old wallpaper.

I am very pleased with the way it turned out. So without further adeiu, here is our new kitchen.


We painted the cabinets white and put on new custom made doors and new hardware. We painted under the cabinets an olive green and replaced the 1968 white countertop with a granite looking formica.

Not real sure what is on the windowsill. It is amazing that after you live with something sitting there for a while you don't even see it anymore. We used to have four small, shallow drawers between the refridge and the dishwasher and we combined the two bottom drawers and made one big deep one. That is now where we keep bread and snacks that used to sit on top of the counter. I am loving that drawer.

And no photo shoot can't be without a lovely model!



Here is a close up of the counter top and the color of the wall. The countertop has some browns in it too but it just didn't show up well here. Also the feel of the counter isn't smooth. It is bumpy like stone would be. I love it.


And finally the other side of the kitchen. We love the little table that Katy gave us. The beadboard will go under the chairrail where the plaid wallpaper is and the walls are freshly painted a nice dark golden color. Excuse the mess on that side of the kitchen.

So there you have it. Our new kitchen

Oh so quickly you forget! Here is the old way.
