1990’s Kitchen Do-Over

Wow! Just WOW! My long-time friend, Sandra and her husband Scott recently had their 1990’s kitchen updated and it is gorgeous!  They picked out the former colors with a designer years ago, and are now moving on up to 2010 with a fabulous new color palette, granite countertops, gorgeous tile on the backsplash, new sink, new appliances, fixtures, flooring, and have changed their cabinets from a whitewashed to a beautifully updated creamy finish.

Check out this transform—Can you believe that this…

…is now looking like this?

I love how the refrigerator looks like it was custom made for that wall, and how they removed the microwave to make room for the new tilework and stovetop appliance.

Before: The Hoosier cabinets were being used for storage.

 After:  This wall is now loaded with cabinets,  some to the ceiling, adding much-needed storage space.  Adding the wall mounted microwave and oven were a stroke of genius! By moving things around, they were able to have more storage space AND a more functional stovetop cooking area.  They also love the new desk/computer area!

After:  New undermount sink, lighting and plumbing fixtures, and new tile, too! Oh, and check out the dishwasher…NICE.

After:  Adding the dark wood flooring is an amazing contrast to the creamy white cabinetry. Also, they made the bar area functional and kid-friendly, too.

Seriously—What an unbelievable transformation! Congrats to this family! The details are amazing—and that tile work is really a knockout job!

I will be linking this to Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps on the Porch. Click on the link below to see other great transformations.

love it, especially the use of the wall in the dining nook -- I hate it when space is wasted like that! It looks like a much more functional space.. and beautiful!

Wow - much better! Welcome to 2010. I like the built ins in the wall, a much better use than the Hoosier cabs.
