The Kitchen Is Done!

Hello!

I am finally here to share a few pics of our finished kitchen!

Alleluia!

Be prepared.
You are about to scroll through many many pictures.

Here are a few before pics: 


 The first thing that went was this awkward corner cabinet.
Each of my girls have knocked their noggin on that thing.
 Out went this unneeded soffit. 

 Good bye blue, laminate, pealing counter tops.
 (are you starting to see why I am SO happy 
to have a pretty kitchen?) 



Enough of the ugly already!!

Are you ready for some pretty??




 Tah Dah!!

 Hello Happy!

 How about a few before and after shots?


After!
 We moved the microwave 
and Josh built this fun plate rack.

It's fun to unload my dishwasher now.


I have always disliked this appliance closet in the corner.

After:
 So it went bye-bye

It's amazing how much more counter space I have now!


Since we removed that awkward corner cabinet

We had room to add some open shelving to display some pretties.
 I love being able to just grab a mixing bowl when I need it.


Remember those curtains made from vintage sheets?

 Since I am now a vintage silverware hoarder, 
I had plenty of forks to steal an idea from Country Living.


Another little detail that makes me happy is my hardware. 


 If you ever come for a visit, you'll easily be able to find 
what you need

 in my labeled drawers.

And my green knobs are pretty happy too.


And then there's my canning jar lights.


 Have I mentioned how thankful I am for my 
handy, hot, carpenter of a husband? 


Yes, thankful I am.
I'm off to go bake some muffins in my happy kitchen!

Hope you have a very HAPPY day! 

 I'll be linking up with a fun few gals.
You should go check out all the amazing creativity.

    Too cute, such a happy place! The counter tops are beautiful, Josh did a great job! And did you take a page out of my book and paint the walls a soft blue? I think having a kitchen you love to be in makes life better! Great job!

    Wow!! I am in LOVE with your kitchen!! We have been looking for over a year for a new home and I keep telling my husband if we do not find something soon I may have to do something to the kitche while we are still looking. After seeing your new kitchen I am not sure how long I can wait. I love all of your vintage finds and your lights oh my! I will be back later to visit your kitchen with my hubby.

    You hit in the nail, as soon as you paint a kitchen cabinet in white, it inmediately gives a different elegant clean look to a kitchen, you made a wonderful job, so with the flooring and the accessories, the lighting is perfect. Thank you for the pictures.

    Beautiful transformation, Amy! I like the shelves you put in where the cabinet was. Love the plate rack, too. Love the white on your cabinets. My daughter has a similar layout in her kitchen and I know that some day she'd like to do her cabinets white. Painting will be part of that budget conscious makeover.

    Wow!!! Your kitchen is AMAZING! It's so cheery and fun. I LOVE it.

    Is your flooring the armstrong VCT? I really really like it. I've been telling my hubs that I want to do this flooring in our house and he's not sure so far. Would love to hear your experience! Did you have it professional polished or do it yourself???
