Kitchen with Posts and a T Shaped Island

Hi Friends!

If you’re having trouble viewing the photos on this post, click here.

How are you? I hope you had a nice week. We just got back from our 14th annual Ocean City, NJ trip with most of my family. The weather was perfect and spending time with family was even better!

I’m excited to share this week’s kitchen makeover with you because it’s something out of the ordinary! We completely refigured the island, did the interior design, installed some new cabinets, and painted the existing cabinetry.

Here’s the kitchen before:

We started with the design board and then Laura asked for a 3D rendering of the space so she could visualize the changes.

Once she gave the OK for this layout, we got to work!

We painted the main cabinets with the color Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace and the island was painted with Kendall Charcoal. The biggest layout problem was the posts in the kitchen (that had to stay). They made the island spacing odd so I decided to incorporate them in the island, and paint them to match the cabinets. It helps them blend into the space instead of blocking portions of the island and feeling like an eye sore.

Ready for the after photos?

We added shallow cabinets to the one side of the island for extra storage.

We added shaker paneling along the front of the island to tie it into the rest of the design.

What an beautiful transformation!! 

Could your kitchen use an update? We’d love to help!! We can help pick out colors, finishes, product and do the cabinet painting, tiling, add new hardware. You can use our Contact Us form to request our design services or a quote for painting your kitchen. Please check out other kitchen projects on our For Sale page. We’ll need to see a picture of your kitchen, a list of how many doors and drawers there are, and where you are located to email you an estimate. This change ups the value of your home and gives you a whole new look at a fraction of the cost of new kitchen cabinets!
