Our Kitchen Renovation

We started planning for a kitchen renovation a few months in advance. While the whole project took months longer than we expected, in the end it turned out to be exactly what we had hoped. See below for the before and after photos.

From planning to finished…

I started the project by selecting a (dream kitchen) wish-list of items, and made a style/products board using Canva.

Kitchen Before Photos

While our original kitchen was NOT terrible, it was looking tired and dated. Between the red oak floors, wood cabinets, and chairs, there was TOO much orange. Oxidation had clearly taken center stage. It was time for an uplift and fulfilling the dream of a fresh white kitchen with cabinets to the ceiling.
