What a difference a day makes – Kitchen reveal pt. 2
November 15th, 2011Nearly 9 months ago we walked through our house for the first time. It looked and smelled pretty aweful, but I loved the spaces and I knew that with a lot of work and a little vision we could make it look beautiful and smell good too. I have tons of before pictures and will do a post with those soon, but for now, I’ll just share this gem:
This is looking from the family room into the kitchen. We new right away that the wall would have to go and the kitchen expanded into the eating nook, and now 9 months later we are *almost* done with the kitchen. I showed you pictures of it not yet painted yesterday, and today, after much sweat and a really really late night…
Tada! You can see in the right hand side of the image the wall near the end of the nook area. That stayed the same, so it gives you a point of reference of the expansion.
And here you can see how it interacts with the other half of the kitchen
Still waiting on the countertops and backsplash tile.
The cabinets will have glass doors, and the wood planks will be painted a smoky aqua. And once all that happens, the kitchen will be officially done! I can’t believe how long of a journey its been, but it was all worth it!

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!!
Holy cow, what a difference! I can’t believe that is the same space. I’m on the edge of my seat for the final reveal!
It looks gorgeous Jen! Did you end up going with the wood-look tile? It looks a lot like what we have in our laundry room. I love how rich it looks with your white cabinets!!!
It looks beyond fabulous. I am in awe of you and Mr. Fix it.
AMAZING! So beautiful and such an improvement!
Lori – we just have the same hard wood floors throughout. We didn’t switch to tile in the kitchen.
Where did you get the stove hood?
my husband built it. The insert we got from amazon
