Hello! Do you remember a month or so ago when I promised a renovated kitchen tour? Well, here it is! I must warn you, I cannot find many before pictures (the only one’s that I have include me and a two day old Violet… please ignore my puffy post pregnant face). Without further adieu, here it is!<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Color theme: Black White and Red <\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

1. New quarts counter tops: previously avocado green laminate<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

2. Removed 70’s back splash and replaced with white subway tile with black grout<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

3. Display case for Cake Plates<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

4. New Lighting Fixture (previously a long rectangular box system)<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

5. Refinished cabinetry (previously brown varnished oak, in really bad shape)<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

6. New hardware (previously an ugly brass)<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

7. New banjo style kitchen sink<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

8. New kitchen faucet from overstock.com<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
9. Put up a door to separate the laundry room from the kitchen. Toped with a painted frame from\u00a0 IKEA that is being used as a corkboard<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a010. New floors (the previous floors were wood laminate, but were ruined by a flood)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Okay, here is a small glimpse of the before:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/a>\n<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
As you can see in the before pictures, the kitchen was dated and mismatched. Oh yeah, did I mention that it took us 2 years to complete? Yeah, we are definitely weekend warriors. The kitchen remained halfway done for a good year (see last picture).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thanks for reading. Please let me know what you think!<\/div>\n
