Kelly's Korner is hosting a linky party today, so I'm sharing pictures of my kitchen. Our house was built in the early 80's, so it needed some updating when we moved in. The kitchen was very dark, and the appliances were in BAD shape. It's amazing what some paint, new hardware and new appliances will do! Here are some before and after pictures of my kitchen (the after pics are the ones with the white cabinets and appliances).
Some day I hope to have a huge kitchen with an island, more storage and nice countertops. I LOVE to cook, so I spend a lot of time in my kitchen. But I love this kitchen - I think my favorite part might be the double oven! It serves our family well, and I love looking out the window while I'm doing dishes. Especially when I get to watch my husband playing with our daughter in the yard!
I hope you enjoyed the before and after photos!
Beautiful kitchen! The white cabinets really made a difference!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW what a transformation!! Wonderful job. It looks like a Pottery Barn kitchen instead of an 80s kitchen. Thanks for sharing with all of us!!
ReplyDeleteI love your kitchen. It looks so different! You did a wonderful job. I never thought that I would like light cabinets but those look great.
ReplyDeleteI love the makeover! My kitchen was that green color before we moved this summer and I LOVED it! It always seemed like a happy spot to cook!

Hey Melanie - I love the makeover. My kitchen is very similar to your before pictures, very dark. I was wondering how you prepared the cabintes for paining? Did you sand them and prime them?
ReplyDeletethanks in advance - I am really hoping to start working on mine really soon.
Love the before and after shots!
ReplyDeleteMelanie - I paid a professional to come do the painting for me. They gave everything a light sanding, then they did two coats of an oil based primer and two coats of oil based paint (I think they lightly sanded between coats of paint).
ReplyDeleteI love all those little cabinet doors. Very cute kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI love all your cabinets! The remodel is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is pretty Melanie!! I love everything and love seeing before and after pics!!
