Kitchen Finally Done!!!!

After a month of work, 7 blog posts or more on the kitchen renovation, and your untiring patience to all my queries, rants and raves about this kitchen, it's finally done!!!
And I am so excited to share this with you all!


TA-DA!!!!


Huge improvement...


Major Improvement...
Definitely almost unrecognizable from BEFORE.....


Remember this?
I'm sure, if you've followed me throughout this 'saga', your excited to see some of the details of our new kitchen.

Let's start with the Sink and oven area....


My Diva-licious sink area!
The Cabinets & Countertop area...


Love the contrast of brown and white

The tiles just sparkle day or night!
A place for some of my Milk Glass Collection

The Island

So much more efficient


Functional and easy access





The Pantry Cabinet

Golden Goodness!

Added these gold screens for some oomph! ;-)


Really looks like cabinet furniture!
The Office Area

My Command Center and Online therapy center for my son!


A Chance to display some of my other collections!

So what do you think?!

I will shell out details on the blog as the days go by, so bear with me as I continue blogging about my new kitchen!!! I also haven't shown yet the breakfast area and I'll explain why on my next post. Let's just say it needed some updating and fixing and made it not viewing-ready yet!

Thank you to all of you for the support and patience with this project!!!!

Happy Labor Day and have a Great Week!

  1. AMAZING sweet pea!!!!!! Than I knew it would be! Now for the comments: The cabinets are gorgeous in the draw style, which are very functional and confortable. The high cupboards with the lighting, where you're storing your milk glass collection are really fabulous! Your Golden pantry is gorgeous and I know you have it decorated to the T inside it too. The island is exquisite. The two offices for you and son are fabulous. I mean I can go on and on, and on, about your stunning kitchen, it sure was worth the wait! Congrats you both have exquisite taste and this kitchen is sure magazine worth as it's Stunning! Enjoy your new month of September cooking in this beauty and I cannot imagine how gorgeous it'll look come the C'mas Hollidays too!

  3. WOW, it's just gorgeous, Vel. You do have amazing taste. It's so sleek and clean - I like the brown and white too. I never thought about putting a rug in front of the refrigerator. Good idea. I imagine you are having a difficult time leaving your new kitchen to do anything else. The before and after photos are amazing. Good job!!
