Thanks again for stopping by and the nice comments
about the kitchen.
The Finished Kitchen:
To say this was a "remodel" on a budget is an understatement! I probably had a total of $1,000 for all appliances, countertops and paint. The counter in the foreground was wood. It had benefits, but some drawbacks as well since it is a porous surface.
So this white kitchen looks a bit vintage? Well, yes, this picture is from the early to mid 90's. Before the big trend of white kitchens hit blogs anyway. The white was a lot of work to keep clean and back then only crisp, clean white counted. There wasn't much glazing going on in the commercial lines.

Such a nice job !!! Thanks for sharing. We recently put in a new kitchen, my accent color is black and I have the same island stools as yours, my curtains are similar too. Might be one of the reasons I enjoyed seeing your kitchen so much !!
ReplyDeleteWe have a family blog...I don't have my own...I should look into getting one.
I found another blog I think you might enjoy: Cottage Bethy
Take care,
Kathy :)
I have enjoyed your kitchen pictures over the last few days. It is a gorgeous kitchen and so inviting and warm. Thanks for letting us have a glimpse. One day in the future I can hope my kitchen will be so wonderful. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog by way of several others and I'm so glad I did. Your home and decorating is beautiful!!! I haven't read very far, but I was wondering how you did your cabinets? If you kept the orginals, did you just strip the paint then glaze them? Did you add the roping and molding to them? Are they real wood or fiberboard? They look stunning!!!
ReplyDeleteI think my husband wants me to stop looking at the photos of your house...I keep whining..."OMG...loooook at this" and "oooh look at that" - as I show him the photos on my laptop screen of your home. lol!
ReplyDeleteI love white kitchen cabinets, I actually want to paint our old oak ones.(well they aren't that old - 16 years - but I want the room brighter).
OH did I tell you I love your house...heehee

Wow, I'm late to the party, but am posting any way. First your home is beautiful. You are so talented.
ReplyDeleteA couple of things, your kitchen remodel have made me love my cherry kitchen cabinets and your ceiling treatment in your dining room is similar to what I did in my old house to make my ceilings appear higher.
May I link your post to my blog?
Your kitchen is just gorgeous:) So cozy and warm. I have a question..is the actual color of the kitchen wall that olive green and you also painted the ceiling the same to match the walls? Or are the walls beige? Thank you so much for the reply in advance.
