As you may or may not recall, we had some water damage in our kitchen caused by our dishwasher. Unfortunately, with our high deductible and a lot of insurance mumbo jumbo, we weren't left with a lot of money for repairs. But, I'm not complaining! We made the most of our estimate! We found a great deal on flooring and were able to update our cabinets with moulding. The process was long, but worthwhile and I'm excited to show you the updates that were made!Before pictures of our cabinets. As I mentioned before, they were my least favorite thing in the house. I can remember second guessing myself after we put in our offer for the house knowing that the ugly cabinets were apart of the deal! I'm only kidding!! Our friend came over with his Skilsaw and made all the cuts for moulding and flooring. While my husband and I did all the painting. And now! What a difference a little moulding makes, eh?! We decided to keep handles/knobs off of the doors. The cabinet doors have grooves underneath of them for easy opening.
Although we painted the cabinets, the wall colors remained the same.
Once we updated the cabinets, the old rug no longer seemed to work in the space.
I purchased this jute rug and I couldn't be happier! It fits the space nicely.
I also changed out the curtains. I made simple window treatments, but sewing them proved to be a little difficult. I am amazed that they came out even in length.
The previous curtains were my first attempt at sewing and it showed. ; ) The curtains were actually made from a sheet set. I used the pillowcases for window treatments in my laundry room as seen here.
I almost went with this fabric for the curtains. As much I liked the fabric, it didn't work for the kitchen.
All the plates on the wall were purchased at thrift stores. You can see the inexpensive way I hung them on the wall here.
A plate holder also doubles as a place to keep my cutting boards. Laminate counters scratch easily, having the cutting boards nearby helps to prevent further scratches.
I really hoped to add some type of open shelving to this empty wall. I even found a trio at the thrift store for a great price! But once my husband helped me hang them on the wall, the shelves made the room look cluttered. So they came down! All the ceramic pitchers I've been collecting over the last few years to display on said shelves are now being stored in the cabinets. Makes me so sad.
I purchased the chair prints from West Elm a couple of years ago. I found an inexpensive frame at Ross to display them in. The planters on the shelf were 49 cents each, at IKEA.
The cabinets extend to the ceiling.
