Kitchen

Our kitchen renovation was such a fun project! Since we made our living space all open concept, our kitchen became a focal point. Accordingly, a lot of work went into this little space and we love how it turned out!

What we did

New paint, flooring and trim
Removed walls between kitchen/dining room/living room to get open concept
Sanded down window frame and painted white
Extended wall to block view of fridge from entry
Added pot lights to ceiling
Had ceiling re-textured (to get cohesive look after removing walls)
Painted existing cabinets
Added trim/crown molding on bulkhead over upper cabinets
Painted cabinet hinges black
New hardware
New backsplash
New counter tops
New faucet
New appliances
Added an island
Added pendant lights over island
Removed the valance over the kitchen sink

One of my favorite details we added to this kitchen was the trim work. There was a bulkhead over the cabinets so we were trying to decide if we should keep it or open it up. We ended up keeping it to avoid the extra work of dealing with what might be behind it. So to disguise it, we added crown molding to the top, a baseboard along the bottom and a really thin piece of edging on the underside to hide the bottom of the baseboard and ledge of the bulkhead. I LOVE how it adds so much character to the kitchen!
