Kitchen Makeover

My husband and I completed our Kitchen Makeover in December of last year. We did it all ourselves from floor to ceiling. Check out all the before and after pictures at this link:

    I love the way the whole room is brightened up! Looks so much bigger too. Great job.

    Love the white, it brightens things up, but couldn't do without the cupboards. Love the backsplash wall, I need that very badly in my kitchen.

    Love. love it. I love white kitchens. Could never understand why people want dark cabinets. A white kitchen is no harder to keep clean than a dark one. Congrats on a job well done.

    We have a dark kitchen too and with home prices the way they are, we are certainly not going to put tens of thousands of dollars in it. I would paint today but that is just too big a task at our age. So I will just enjoy the work others are posting! Keep it up!

    I followed as you did this. So much fun to watch ! At least for me! ha And I am so glad you went with the open shelving! In spite of what all the nay sayers said. Are you finding them difficult to keep clean? I wouldnt think so. Naysayers should look in their cabinets and see how dirty they are, right? They just cant see it...

    And I love that you can display different things as the mood strikes! ...»

    I was in Targ to day and they have some awesome dishes, I would love to display somewhere as you have.

    Hi Bernice! I still LOVE my open shelves, and they do not show dirt at all. I think I have wiped them off twice in the past 10 months. Seriously! They look great! Thanks for following along. :)

    Oh, I love your design, just can't do it.... I have one boy kitty that climbs up to the top of my white cabinets every day (he thinks I took the dropped, nasty, accoustical tile, dropped ceiling down just for him) and I have paw marks on my upper doors every day. I am also taking all the w to w carpeting out and then under that is nasty old, broken 9 inch tiles with that black adhesive to deal with and they now have dirty paws till I get that finished. Taking a long time cause I had ...»
    something go wrong with my left hand... hurts like crazy all the way up to my neck and I can't grip a thing with it yet.... pulling up carpet with one hand is a little bothersome... lol. I definitely love your kitchen remodel though.
