Hi Friends,

Thinking about updating your own kitchen? See our kitchen cabinet painting service.

How was your weekend! Autumn in NY is my favorite and the leaves are just starting to change. I went on a ladies retreat in the Adirondacks last weekend, and to say it was beautiful is an under statement. The evening sky turned orange, yellow, pink and even purple over the lake and the time spent conversing with friends filled my heart to the brim.

For this week’s makeover, I’m giddy excited to share this kitchen makeover. I designed it for Jen and Mike’s new house. The house was already nice, but they wanted it to become a house that would make them want it to be their forever home. Last week, I shared their dining room makeover and that was such a beautiful transformation, but the kitchen is my absolute favorite part of their home redesigns.

They had a medium sized kitchen and a dining room side by side.

Kitchen before: old white cabinets by the fridge

The old fridge wall was removed to make the room bigger. The whole renovation was done by their contractor, Jon VanSlyck, who did an amazing job. He truly took every idea I had and brought it to life!

Here are the after photos:

The island and table lighting are stunning.

Added all new beams on the ceiling to add character and bring the two spaces together.

Breakfast nook with a round table and window bench
My favorite part. The kitchen nook for extra eating space.

I tried to describe each section under each photo, but all the cabinets, flooring, counters, lighting, and tile are new. It’s the largest island that could go in and keep the countertop all as one slab. So beautiful! Then the corner table provides extra room for guests or a table for homeschooling the kids.

The beams and the corner table area are my favorite part, but adding the tiling all the way to the ceiling is also a really close second favorite.

Isn’t it so beautiful?!?
