Refacing Kitchen Cabinets With New Doors

We gave our kitchen a mini makeover.

When we moved into our home nearly ten years ago, I always dreamed of a bright white kitchen.  Over the years we’ve completed a bunch of makeovers, but the kitchen has been on my to-do list for such a long time. It felt so outdated, from the floors to the cabinets.

Before, the cabinets were flat and dull. 

Then when I couldn’t take it anymore, we updated them with moulding.

I was frustrated with my kitchen. We made some changes, but the cabinets seemed to be here to stay and I accepted the fact that I would always have to work around them.

This time around, I wanted to streamline the cabinets by having both top and bottom doors combined into one long cabinet door.

To break up the pattern, I decided to go with glass cabinet doors over the window.  They open up the kitchen a bit and give the space a more custom look.


At first, I was a bit nervous about how it would all come together. I didn't want the glass cabinets to become a showcase, rather than a place for storage.

We replaced the kitchen table for an island. I love having another area to prep our meals. I store vegetables in the baskets.

I painted our backsplash, then gave it clear coat to protect it. It's held up great. I have no complaints!
