Our home is going under the knife! I am talking about a serious renovation and even though the rest of the rooms are still a mess I am happy to say that our kitchen makeover is finally finished. I am so excited to give you a tour of our new old kitchen. I hope you like it as much as we do! Here it is our White Kitchen Makeover.
The Finishes.
We chose simple white maple cabinets for our new kitchen. We wanted a clean modern look and Sam, our carpenter, did an amazing job. He refinished for us the old cabinet frames and replace just the facings with new covers and drawers. We chose to replace our old countertops with a very dark almost black granite. I love the contrast between the black and white.
For the backsplash I chose glass subway tiles mixed with stainless steel. I was looking for texture more than color and the combo between the metallic and the different tones of neutrals was just perfect!
For the floor we chose tiles that actually look like hardwood floors and for lighting we added a modern ceiling fan to keep the clean lines and the Summer heat away.
We also used a contemporary wavy glass for two of the cabinets to add a new texture to the combo!
The Accessories
In bathrooms and kitchens I like to decorate with items that are useful. I don’t like unnecessary clutter.
I brought some color into the kitchen filling the corner cabinet with some of my baking dishes and cake stands.
I used plants to bring a splash of green and an organic feeling to the kitchen.
Under one of the cabinets I hung our DIY Stenciled Mugs.
You can find the tutorial here.
For the wall I made a few free printables. You can print them for free HERE.
Get creative! A little color…
...a little texture,
…and a little cuteness, can do extraordinary things!
To finish it all I made a geometric gray and white balance and I added a colorful rug to tie together all the colors of the kitchen. All done!
Here it is just with neutral tones!
My favorite part of our new kitchen is all the little extra gadgets and built-ins that help us stay organized.
Make sure to check them all out HERE.

Wishing you all an awesome day!

Love, love, love your kitchen! I was wondering where you got the Menu du jour sign?
Jamie, I made it myself 🙂
Where did you buy that rug? I love it!
Julia I got it here : http://www.jossandmain.com/invite/1D33C7
Beautiful! Where did you find the bottle for your dish soap? Is it blue glass or just blue soap?
Debbie, you can find them at Target or Walmart. They are design to contain oil 🙂 The soap is blue!
Thanks! I have one now but it is painted with a garden scene. Everytime I see one they are decorated. I will look for the plain bottles now that I know they must exist. It was difficult to tell from pic, thought maybe it was smaller than one I have, but after seeing it in the overall pic it looks tall like mine. Love that wavy glass on your cabinet doors! I too want to decorate with useful items. So much easier to keep areas clean!
Desiree, how do you like your new flooring? My husband really wants to use this in our kitchen.
Warmly,
Melissa
I love it! It is super easy to clean and it looks great. My only advice is to choose the right color. Mine is super dark so it shows any little thing on it. If you want something low maintenance go with a lighter color. They have many choices… Best thing ever!
Can you please tell me where you got the colorful rug from! I love it and it would go great in my kitchen also.
Thanks,
Traci
They sold out but it is from Urban Outfitters online.
How did I miss that your revealed this! I love it! It turned out so wonderful and fresh. Can’t wait to see the rest of what your doing around the house! Can’t wait to see you next week!
I am so excited to see you my friend… I love you to piece!
Love it ALL! So gorgeous! Pinned. 🙂
Simply stunning =) I love the tiling.
Thank you so much!
Love the colorful rug also! What is the brand? I looked on their site and don’t see it. Maybe I could find it somewhere else.
