My kitchen is done!!! It's basically a miracle that I can even say that. It took me 6 months to finish and I didn't do any major renovations. All I did was painted and accessorized! I LOVE how the white brightens up the space! I kinda love it! :)
Before
The cabinets were sanded, primed and painted Behr's Swiss Coffee.
I made the faux roman shade for above the sink to match the dining room chairs. My friend gave me the fabric when I helped her make new curtains for her kitchen. I knew her old fabric would work perfectly!
I used this tutorial and added the ribbon for trim and hung it right up. I really love how it turned out.

The best part is, my landlord loves it! I was super nervous about tackling such a big project when it's not my house! But I love it and she loves it! Win win! :)
What do you think? Don't you think the white makes it brighter!? The whole room feels bigger to me!

I can't believe the difference it makes! It looks like a completely different house! I love it! I wish our landlord would let us paint the cabinets - they look the same as your before pic. Wonderful job!

ReplyDeleteOh my it looks lovely! Reading that it took 6 months makes me not feel so bad about how long it's taking to do my kitchen! And... your burlap curtains are darling! Love them!

ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful! Love the white cabinets.
ReplyDeletelove our bright & clean everything is! Great Job!
ReplyDeleteCute! I have a question about your extra cabinet to the right of your sink. Do you feel cramped working in that little nook? Ivebeen thinking of adding a section like that because I don't have much countertop space, but my daughter keeps telling me that it will make it too cramped.
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous! :)
ReplyDeleteI love it! (and I'm still loving the bows on the curtains!)

ReplyDeleteYour kitchen looks FAB! :) I especially love the window treatments! :) SO VERY CUTE! Love the ruffles!!!
ReplyDeleteI really love posts that prove that you can redo a room affordably and make it look like you spent a pretty penny on it! The paint and accessories make the room look amazing and bring everything you didn't redo look like you purposefully picked them out yourself (ie. the backsplash, countertop). Thanks so much for sharing this inspiring project!
ReplyDeleteI really love it!! It looks like a completely different kitchen!! Not to be a downer, but where's your microwave? I couldn't live without mine...
ReplyDeleteWow, what a difference. It looks so fresh and clean! I saw your link at the power of paint party.
ReplyDeleteYou kitchen transformation is a work of art. What a big change. I wouldn't even want to cook in there cuz it's so pretty. ( you're probably thinking that girl would use any excuse not to cook ) True, but it really is a big improvement! Good Job! I am your newest follower!
ReplyDeleteWow! Beautiful transformation! My kitchen cabinets, all the trim , and the doors in our house are painted with The swiss Coffee. I love it!
ReplyDeleteLooks AMAZING!! I love what a can of white paint can do! So fun!!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous transformation! I'm putting your kitchen in the PoPP Spotlight @ Domestically Speaking. Thanks for linking up.
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest, tiniest kitchen ever! Just adorable. I love the roman shade!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job! I love everything about it! Our kitchens are twins (well, your old kitchen and my current kitchen)! Our walls are painted that exact shade of green, and we have honey oak cabinets. Redoing our kitchen (painting the walls and cabinets) is on our spring/summer project list.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see another tiny kitchen transformed! We had our cabinets painted and it made such a huge difference in the space. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteLooks fabulous! So spacious and bright, good job!
ReplyDeleteI love EVERYTHING about this redo. Wonderful job, looks absolutely fantastic. I came here from Better After because I wanted to see the rest of your photos!
ReplyDeleteI adore this makeover! Very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteVery cute!!
ReplyDeleteI have a question-where did you move your microwave? Our microwave is on our counter and I hate it. I noticed yours is not on the counter in the after photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Love it! I'm so inspired. I've been waiting for just the right idea for my incredibly ugly kitchen redo, and I think this is it! I will have to figure out something for my blue laminate counter tops, but I think I can paint those as well. Thanks for helping me envision what my kitchen can be.
ReplyDeleteWow, talk about the little kitchen that could! Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing! What a difference! Beautiful re-do. Can i ask what the fabric is. I love it!

ReplyDeleteIt looks waaaaay better with the white! I love it. Love your dining nook curtains too ... and that little clock. I've been eyeing one of those myself but just don't know where I'd put it. Your kitchen turned out great!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! It's amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do. The burlap curtains are super cute. The roman shade....I LOVE that fabric!! Please, please, would you ask your friend where she bought it? It's exactly what I've been looking for to do the roman shades in my basement. The print & colors are perfect!
ReplyDeleteJust stumbled across your blog via pinterest and am your newest follower! I LOVE LOVE LOVE your kitchen makeover!!! I love how you kept it so fresh and bright. Any tips on how to keep a very small kitchen from getting cluttered? Also, any reason why you did an off white/cream instead of bright white?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration! :)
Wow such beautiful collection of shades....This definitely will contribute to the beauty of the house.
