It’s about time for the big reveal!  We finished the final touches on our kitchen renovation and we’re excited to share the before & after photos.

When we bought our house, we knew it would be a ‘fixer-upper’.  The kitchen especially needed a total overhaul before we could even move in.

Before:

With the help of our amazing family and friends, we were able to gut the entire kitchen and build a new one.  If you want to see pictures of the renovation process, Click here.

And if you’re a visual person (like me) a floor plan will help you better picture the kitchen layout.

And here’s our re-design of the space:

Now, lets jump to the good part – The AFTER photos!

After:

We’re excited that it’s DONE.  But in our house, a project is never really ‘done.’  We have some touch-ups to fix on the baseboard and door frame from our fridge fiasco (it was too big to fit through the doorway), window treatments, and maybe eventually a backsplash? We most recently added a DIY Menu Board to the fridge.  But for now, it’s done and we’re focused on other renovation projects around the house, like our ongoing battle about hallway colors.

Not to shabby for 82 square feet, right?! We have high hopes of expanding the kitchen years down the road, so we didn’t go with the whole travertine and marble, perfect to a T redesign.  We kept on a small budget and did all the work and planning ourselves to make our perfect ‘for now’ kitchen.  We’ll share more about our process of getting permits, drawing plans, and budgeting for the project later.
