KITCHEN BEFORE & AFTER


We started the kitchen remodel last spring and it has been a very long process but well worth the wait!
I am displaying the pictures in a progression of the gradual transformation of the kitchen..
BEFORE:
What the kitchen looked like when we first bought the house.
                                         After i painted the cabinets white..
                                          then white and beige..
                                                Beginning of DEMO!!
                         
AFTER:

Although there are still things that could use perfecting (paint, floor, moldings) I am so grateful to have a beautiful new, clean kitchen and lucky to have such awesome parents who trusted me with my creative design abilities!

I have also been on the hunt for a dining table for who knows how long till I stumbled upon a quick, inexpensive, easy solution..at IKEA! 

I found these table legs in the Home office section in Ikea for 14.99 
The table top was only 60! 
So grand total for dining table =$90
BEFORE:
AFTER:
2 coats of stain and 2 coats of polyurethane. 

All the chairs I have found over time on curbs and streets, just painted and reupholstered. One day I will have all new matching chairs, but works for now!
