Before & After of my kitchen

When I moved into Vinnord, the kitchen was horribly yellow, orange and brown! And had been extremely cluttered when the past owner had it... It needed some serious tlc. I painted the walls a pistachio green, added new cabinets from Ikea, and changed the floor. It is still "cluttered" in many ways, but so much more soothing to the eye :) One of my favorite rooms in the cottage.

I love the kitchen.Don't count that old stove out--I had a kitchen large enough for a wood burning cook stove and loved it in the winter. I love the idea of a coffee corner, but with a family of five, I just could not survive without a full size fridge readily at hand.

The cottage is in Finland, but your photo tag says Raymond, Ne. What's up?

the Cottage is in NORWAY (not Finland) and I used to live in NE, I needed a US zipcode to be a member here ;)

Although I don't know what the reason is for requiring a US zipcode (security maybe?), regardless of where the cottage is, you've done a great job of redecorating/remodeling. It is, however, always nice to know where these homes are, to give us an idea of where to find something structurally similar.

Trine - a wonderful job on this kitchen. Lord, you must have died when you first saw the colors in there. But, with a true visionary, you saw past the UGLY and knew what this space could be!! Great job!! And . . . .you're in Norway huh!!! Awesome ;~)
