It's my first link up and I thought I'd share our kitchen redo!
7 years ago we bought our first home!
It was a day we will never forget... and same goes for the kitchen!
It all started with the mac and cheese colored walls.
Seriously, the walls looked like some one poured the blue box cheese powder into a gallon of paint and slopped it on to the walls!
take a look for yourself...
We soon began the process of redoing the kitchen starting with paint.
I can't rember the exact date but painting occured within a month of moving.
I couldn't walk out of my bedroom and see this everyday (albeit cheerful) any longer!
I chose a much more neutral color...
enter: Sherwin Williams Latte.
I prefer a latte over powder cheese any day
Side note: Have you seen the "Do you wanna go to Starbucks" Frozen Parody?
Awesomeness! link below.
Back to the kitchen.
Then came the new appliances and a simple white drum shade to replace the cobalt blue saucer light.
and the biggest change of all... white cabinets WITH hardware!
Houses very rarely have kitchen hardware and it drives me nuts!
The final project was replacing the mexican tile island top with black granite.
To save $$, I framed out a sheet of plywood and tiled 12x12 granite tiles on top.
We loved the way it turned out and hope that the future owners enjoy it as much as we have!
Because...
We have FINALLY found a new "old" house!
It only took 18 months... eighteen months, ugh!
Once the master bath redo is complete we will move to our cozy yellow farm house in the country this summer!
Plenty of pics to come of that project, stay tuned!
P.S. Someone needs to make a Mom version of this!
I love the changes you made in the kitchen but that little yellow cottage makes me swoon!!!
