Hi Friends!

How are you? I’ve been waiting, beyond excited, to share one of my all time favorite kitchen makeovers with you! When Kim sent me a picture of her kitchen for a quote on getting her cabinets painted, my first thought was… wow this is already a pretty kitchen, but painting the cabinets will knock it out of the park! Here’s the before pictures so you can see what I mean:

What I love most about this makeover is that we change nothing but the color of the cabinets. It has the same counters, backsplash, sink, island, and hardware.  We painted the whole kitchen with Benjamin Moore’s Wind’s Calm OC-22 and sealed it with a satin clear coat. Calm is white with a very subtle gray undertone and I absolutely love it! Are you ready for the afters?

Hi Friends,

How are you? We’ve had our busiest week of the year with Small Business Saturday and then the Troy’s Victorian Stroll. If you missed it, we were on WNYT News about the stroll and had a quick family picture!

Now those are some pretty cute kids! 😍

This week, I wanted to show you before and after pictures of our kitchen makeover. We’ve been wanting to redo the kitchen for awhile but we had other projects that needed to be done first so this one waited two years. :) Here are the before pictures:

It wasn’t that our kitchen was horrible, but it definitely didn’t reflect our style or show the work we could do so we decided to give it a face lift. We painted all the cabinets Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore, had new counters installed, and John installed the subway tile, shiplap and built the new table. In the week’s to come, I’ll go into more detail about the different parts of a kitchen remodel, but wanted to show you the overall makeover first.

Ready for the afters??

Removed some cabinets for exposed shelves, tiled, installed new sink and painted the cabinets a warm taupe gray.

We’ll need to see a picture of your kitchen, a list of how many doors and drawers there are, and were you are located to email you an estimate.
