Kitchen Reveal

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!
