Kitchen Renovation: Before & After

We recently renovated our very 1980's kitchen. It was a huge project including cabinets, lighting, floors, and countertops. I love the way it turned out and have been so happy cooking here, but I feel like the countertop are a little bare. Any ideas for accessories? See my blog post here for all before and after pictures: http://thehillhangout.com/2012/07/our-kitche...

    The before and after. We went from a world of wood to a world of color!

    The desk area stays so much neater with the addition of cabinet doors and baskets for organizing.

    We took doors off of existing cabinets to have exposed shelving for dishes.

    This set of cabinets was added, giving us ample storage space for small appliances.

    Ashley!! Your new pendant lights are awesome ... and the pop of color on your roman shade is perfect. I love the whole look!

    Oh, and you may want to add a direct link in your post here to the post on the blog so we can click over to learn more. I was going to take a closer look to see if I had any accessory ideas. One thought would be a basket in the corner of the peninsula. Maybe even one with a top so it could hide some clutter that accumulates in a pinch :)

    Your new look is beautiful! I love your door panels and hardware. I'll bet things would look more complete if you added a tile backsplash. Be very wary of adding 'accessories'.

    Thanks, Linda, but it already has a backsplash. The white subway tile is hard to see in the photos. You can probably see it a little better if you click through to the blog post.
