That's a wrap!
If there was ever an award for longest remodel makeover, I am most certain I would win!
What started as simple as upgrading our appliances quickly turned to a kitchen renovation. We began at the end of November with lots and lots of breaks in between. The actual remodel took us about 4 months to complete with some bumps along the way. You can see those older posts here and here.
Bye Bye cherry cabinets. I'm not gonna miss keeping you clean!
If your wondering why we don't have barstools it's because the island was not built as an eat-in. I blame the builder! Hopefully next year we will add on to the granite to allow us to do so. A single barstool is on it's way to be placed on the side of the island(Pics to come)
This picture was taken in the night time due to poor natural lighting and my cheapy camera.

Picking out the designing touches made the process much longer than I previously thought. I wanted to be absolutely sure that everything we were doing was staying for more than just a short period of time. One thing you outta know about me is I change my mind more than I'd like to admit. Hubby often jokes around and says he's surprised that I'm still with him. Ha! But now that we are finally done(for now) we could not be more happy.
What a beautiful transformation you got!! The cherry cabinets looked ok, but painting them white really transformed the whole kitchen! I love the backsplash and that light over the kitchen table!
ReplyDeleteThank you Christina. I'm not a cherry fan plus they were alot more difficult to keep clean than the white. Go figure!
DeleteLove it love it love it! I agree with Cristina - I love the cabinets (the little glass front compartments at the top are particularly cool) but they look STUNNING in white! I also love the subway tiles and the lighting!
ReplyDeleteThanks Meghan! Subways tiles are here to stay. I don't see them going away.....ever :)
DeleteLooks awesome!! We're having our kitchen cabinets painted white soon and I cannot wait!
ReplyDeleteOoh can't wait to see yours. I'll be sure to follow your transformation :)
DeleteWhoah is me!! It's such a beautiful transformation! The whole space looks so much brighter and you already know I'm all about light and bright! The hanging pendants over the island are stunning. The granite actually looks much lighter now with the lighter cabinets. Soooo gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Whitney! You can never go wrong with white. I never get tired of it. Its such a popular choice but I just love me a white kitchen :)
DeleteGorgeoussssss!!!! I love everything about it! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Gabbi :)
DeleteMandy it looks amazing!! Crazy how much bigger it looks! That could be in a magazine!
ReplyDeleteAwe thanks for the sweet comment Elizabeth. I could say the same thing about your home :)
DeleteIt's gorgeous! You guys did an amazing job! Great choices on everything too - love the white cabinets and backsplash! I agree with the comment above, it's definitely magazine-worthy.
ReplyDeletePS: Just shared it on my FB page. :)
ReplyDeleteIt must feel so good to finally have this done! I love the light fixtures (especially the one above the sink)! And, of course, the white makes it feel so fresh and light. Nice pulls, as well. Where's the abstract painting? Did you do that for you kitchen, or am I mistaken?
ReplyDeleteThanks! No mistake about the abstract painting. It's actually behind the table. I didn't show that view because you can see my other rooms aka family room and living room and it's a work in progress. Promise I will show it when I post about my new barstool that I should recieve sometime this week :)
DeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDelete~Bliss~
Fantastic!! Wow, I already know it, but every time I see a transformation like this I can't believe how much paint can make a difference. Great job.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful transformation! I love the light fixtures. Where did you get the one above the sink? All of the finishes are perfect. Your chairs turned out so good with that fabulous fabric. Love the glass cabinet fronts. Everything is so light and bright. Magazine worthy for sure!
ReplyDeletePretty! I love the black and white cabinets and your new light fixtures. I'd say that four months isn't too bad! We started buying new appliances for our kitchen in December, and are slowy working our way to redoing the whole room.
ReplyDeleteI am sure it feels good to finally be done though :)
Your kitchen looks fantastic! Especially love the black island and the pendant lighting and the eating area. And the black door looks fantastic - have you considered painting all your interior doors black? It's such a great look.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new kitchen!
It's so beautiful! I love he furniture and fabrics you chose. Everything is perfect - congrats!!
ReplyDeleteStacy
Your kitchen should be in a magazine! Seriously. I kept scrolling back to the before picture to see what a difference you have made. It looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteSeriously.
I want to insert about 500 exclamation points here.....but I will refrain.

Wowowowowowow! I LOVE your kitchen! Amazing how changing the color of the cabinets changes the whole look of the space. Of course, the new backsplash, lighting, & hardware helps too :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
Mandy it looks wonderful! Love the lighting you chose, especially over the kitchen table. It is so much brighter with the white. Who cares if it took 4 months, it was well worth it that is for sure!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW, stunning!!! I love the upper cabinets and the way the countertops look!! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMandy, love the new kitchen! Loving the white! it's beautiful! Thanks for finding me on my blog! I'm following you now too!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Is that the same kitchen?!! Ahhmazing. I love the tile backsplash and pendant lights.
