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!

Must feel great to have the kitchen done! We purchased a house at the end of February that was built in 1910 and somewhat renovated in the 70’s and we’re completely rehabbing it. We’re a few weeks out from finishing the kitchen and I can’t wait!!
Jessica, I think it is so much fun to see an old place to get a second chance. I can’t wait to see what you do with your kitchen. Makeovers are the best!
It looks fabulous! Where did you get the rug that has the blue and yellow in it?
Thank you Liz… I found the rug at Urban Outfitters online.
