Outdated Oak Kitchen gets the Full Makeover Treatment!

Hi Friends!

We recently spent time with one of our clients whose kitchen was not only stuck in the past, it was not the most functional, and our clients knew they needed a change! From freshly painted cabinets & new hardware to new counters, adding backsplash and helping to customize their island (the wow factor at the end!), our clients made the most of everything, and the outcome is AMAZING!

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

Take a look at the before photos. The kitchen has a decent amount of storage, but the layout of the cabinets was not ideal. These cabinets were outdated and needed new life, and the shelf below the small high up cabinets was not functional, so we needed to make sure that was corrected!

First, we took these tired, oak cabinets and painted them in Benjamin Moore Simply White (a perfect go-to) and added new hardware. We also replaced the microwave shelf and small uppers with a full sized new upper cabinet for more storage. Then we installed backsplash and new counters. This quartz counter is durable and beautiful, and the tile selection is such a great complement to the refreshed island!

Next, we moved on to the kitchen island. To really make this island stand out, we added shiplap around the base, painted it in Benjamin Moore’s Smokestack Gray and installed a beautiful farmhouse sink (AKA apron sink) with a coordinating faucet.

Check out this amazing view of the before and after of the outdated oak island to island turned statement!

To complete the room, we added board and batten, then our client painted it Benjamin Moore’s Simply White, around the room to add texture and timeless character to the space.

If you’ve with me long enough you know that to really finish a space you have to consider all of the details, and that is just exactly what we did with this kitchen makeover! It is beautiful! Check out some final pictures!
