kitchen.

remember how a reaaaally long time ago we were doing little renovations all over our house?  well, i never shared how they turned out.  i know... i'm such a bad blogger.

i'm pretty much in love with our kitchen these days.  there are still some things to do like hang some pretty curtains, put up the doors on the rest of the cabinets (they will be a glass front) and get a new door to close off the laundry room.  i didn't "stage" these photos... which i probably should have.  but, this is how we live.  cereal boxes on the countertop and mail to be sorted through. and there's some little finger smudges on the refrigerator after some little guests were here on monday... guess i should get used to that! ;)

husband and i are both pretty minimalist.  we don't like a lot of clutter in the kitchen.

before:
for fun... this is how it looked when we did our first tour of the house.  i know what you're thinking... why would you choose to buy that house??


and after:


i'm super proud of my husband and all the hard work he put into making this kitchen bright and lovely.  and thanks to my dad for helping. and to the in-laws for texturing the walls so the paint would actually stay on.

  9. wow! looks great. Love the countertops. One day I hope to have a kitchen that large... these city kitchens just aren't doing it for me. Even though I don't ever go into that room :)

  11. What a beautiful kitchen! I love it! So much lighter and it looks larger too!

    I also love the door with the corner cut off, under the stairs? LOL I love interesting shaped doors. You don't often see that!
