House Remodeling: Kitchen Cabinets

I wanted to catch everyone up to speed on the house renovations. I'm excited to say that we are moved in and most of our big projects are complete! One of the biggest projects we tackled was the kitchen and specifically the kitchen cabinets, which is what I wanted to share with you today.

We knew in order to make the house {and that room in particular} feel totally different, a change in the cabinets would make the biggest difference.

First for a glimpse at the old kitchen...

After removing all the collegiate mugs {and christmas decor} from the top of the cabinets, we decided to make them a little taller by adding crown molding.

We also added a center island to create more countertop space. 

{More to come on the island. It was a super easy addition that is going to be awesome.}

Next was the painting of the walls and cabinets. After painting for weeks-on-end ourselves, we decided to hire a professional to do the main room, including the cabinets. {ho-rah!}

New appliances really sealed the deal... you can see the old white vs. the new stainless. 

Amazing difference! 

old.

vs.

new!

The countertops are the last piece of the puzzle that we are waiting on and those should arrive late July. My other big decision that I need everyone's advice on... should we leave the door off the first cabinet and paint the inside to create some fun shelves for coffee, or close it up? 

Hope you enjoyed the transformation thus far. I can't wait to share more pics after our countertops and island are in and complete!
