We are by no means done with our kitchen renovation, but I'm praying that it's soon to be my favorite room in the house....so I'm sharing it for today's post in Andrea's "Show and Tell" series.
I've been pinning 23479238 pins with design ideas, and I'm excited to share them with you!

Here's what we are doing/have done so far.....
-kitchen cabinet ripped out above kitchen desk
-floating shelves installed in it's place (still haven't picked these)
-crown molding replaced
-cabinets painted white
-hardware installed
-new countertops (hasn't been selected)
-new backsplash (hasn't been selected)
-new sink
-new fridge, oven and microwave (probably not right away...we may wait a bit on these)
And if you need a reminder of what our kitchen looks like, mid-renovation, feast your eyes. Not stressful or anything! ;-) I mean, who needs cups, plates, utensils, or pretty much anything!
With four kids, this has been a huge challenge. The "it will be worth it" mantra, is what keeps me going!!
Here's where we are at, as of today.....we've made major progress, but still have a ways to go!
I have a million ideas running around in my mind and I'll post some of them on here. Please let me know what you think, or send more my way!! It's funny how I can picture the kitchen of my dreams, but putting it all together and picking out all the pieces is so hard!! I am really happy that we decided to go with white, and that's mostly impart to the awesome advice from all of you! I think there were at least 40 people who replied to my post about cabinet color and all but 2 (I think) said to go with white. So, white it is!
I'm picturing airy and fresh, clean and contemporary. I don't want it to be kitch-y or cottage-y and am looking for more of a timeless look. We are going to incorporate both greys and browns into the countertops and tile, so we can go either way, as the styles change.

(^ love those shelves!! Thought I would go with white, but am thinking maybe the dark wood would look great with our floors and add a fun pop to the kitchen?!?)
You're going to love it! I'm sure it's a difficult process but you're going to love it once it's done!
ReplyDeleteI sure hope so!!! =)

Hi Chelsea! Thanks for stopping by! I'm a part-time high school teacher! I teach mostly health & fitness classes. =)
DeleteIt's already looking great!! I'm assuming you haven't changed the counter top yet? Love the ideas of the back splashes- especially the one that is the smaller tiles with the bits of brown and stuff- can't wait to see the finished product!!
ReplyDeleteYou are correct, we haven't done the countertops yet. It's funny how much I use to hate them before we painted the cabinets. Now, I don't hate them nearly as much! ;-) That's one of my favorite backsplashes, too! I will definitely post pictures of the final product!
DeleteI love what you have done so far Kelly! Can't wait to see it finished :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! I can't wait, either!! =)
DeleteThis is coming along so fabulously! Love it!

ReplyDeleteIt's so easy and makes SUCH a difference! You should go for it!!
DeleteYour kitchen is coming along great! What a change...LOVE the all white! Love an apron sink (I think that's what it's called!?) Can;t wait to see the finished product!!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm thinking!! Sort of like a farmhouse sink, right? Thanks!
DeleteIt already looks great so far! I love the white cabinets!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLoving the look of this! Can't wait to see the final product
ReplyDeleteThank you!! Me either! ;-)
DeleteLove the darker wood shelves...they bring a touch of nature into the clean look!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great way to put it! I think I'm leaning more and more towards dark! =)
DeleteLove the white cabinets and really think that granite would be a winner! And those floating shelves...love them! Thinking adding the wood looking ones would add some extra character
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking the same thing. Thank you!
DeleteLooks great! Can you please tell me the beige/grey paint color on your walls? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt's Benjamin Moore's "Revere Pewter". And, thank you!
DeleteYour kitchen will be worth the wait! It will be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nikki!
DeleteLooks like it is going to be awesome! And I LOVE those shelves - definitely take the leap of faith because I think it will be worth it!
