We’re pretty proud of this project being that it was all DIY (except the granite installation)! Since we had already installed dark flooring throughout most of the house we decided to go with white for the kitchen cabinets and oil rubbed bronze for the knobs & pulls. After living with only a fridge for a few months (we bought a foreclosure and the owner had taken out most of the cabinets and all the appliances except the broken stainless steel fridge – which we got fixed) we were so happy to have our brand new kitchen!
So without further ado, here are the before and after pics of our kitchen!

Appliances – Sears
Any specifics you want to know just ask!


That is absolutely gorgeous. What a fantastic job! The previous owners would be floored!
So excited to see this reveal! Your kitchen ideas totally inspired me for our own kitchen reno. The finished project looks spectacular!
You guys did an amazing job! I’m very impressed you guys did the install yourselves. My husband and I did a kitchen remodel last summer on our galley kitchen – and although it was tiny we left the installation to a contractor, because we would have bickered the whole time.
Can you tell me who makes your stove? I have yet to find a slide in that I like and our black one is showing her age.
JESS! It looks awesome! I’ve been waiting for your blog to come back and I’m so glad it has! I can’t wait to hear updates on beautiful Sienna too!
Just stumbled across this and absolutely love what you’ve done. I really appreciate you doing a preview of what I want my new kitchen to look like. Thanks for sharing.
(and what wonderful lines in the rest of the house. And great paint choices too!)
Wow, this is wonderful! Now I know what I need to do with all the extra empty space and 2 corner walls in our kitchen!
