Hello!
Is is really September?
This Summer really flew by.
Two years ago,
we did a little kitchen refresh.
Because I tend to disappear
from the blog from time to time,
I never shared it here for you to see,
so today is the day it'll make its debut.
I painted my cabinets white
some 9 years ago.
They are old cabinets, original
to this house built in 1933.
I never want to part with them because
they are huge and can house so many dishes.
There were a few things I knew for sure:
I hated my blue tile backsplash,
I hated my brown linoleum flooring,
I hated my wood look countertops,
I'm not a stainless steel appliance girl.
I wanted fresh & clean & white.
But....
here's where I differ from the rest of the white kitchen groupies...
I really, really love color too.
Come take a peek:
Now let me give you a few less than flattering
before pictures so you can get some perspective here.
Here's that brown linoleum:
(please forgive the mess)
Here's that blue tile backsplash and those awful countertops:
(please forgive the pile of dishes drying in the sink)
And the same view now:
Much better, huh?
How I love my white subway tile and quartz countertops!
No more brown linoleum either!
I apologize for the reflection in the glass cabinet doors below.
They are so hard to photograph.
So that is my kitchen reveal.
Not a major reno,
but enough to make a huge improvement
and most importantly,
enough to make me happy.
Thanks for coming by today.
I'll be back soon because hey,
it's time for Fall décor!
