Kitchen Re-do

My kitchen redo is finally complete!  For now anyway, who am I kidding I can't leave anything alone for very long.

Here is the kitchen when we looked at the house originally.  Unimpressive to say the least.  We ditched the appliances and got stainless steel.  I also painted the cabinets, what a job!

Then for some unknown reason I painted it highlighter blue.  Maybe I was tired of our all white apartment or I had been sniffing cabinet paint too long.  So it stayed that way for almost 3 years.  I tried to work with it.  It just wasn't happening so I did what I always do started selling to make money for the 

re-do.  I sold the old curtains and other decor.

I decided on Perfectly Greige paint by Sherwin Williams.  It turned out just how I had hoped.  

Here is the after:

So much more neutral and calming.  I decided against curtain panels in the bay window again so I followed this tutorial and made 3 roman shades from 1 curtain panel.

I kept my free red chandelier just removed the lamp shades.

My kitchen table and chairs stayed the same.  You can see the chair project post here. 

I used curtain panels on this window.  I kept the 2 pics of Reid (I need to change out one to one of Grace.)  My sister found the cute utensil print for me on clearance at Hobby Lobby.

I repurposed my red bread box to keep my coffee supplies for the Keurig.

I love the cozy little sink area.  I painted the chalkboard frame and added the little wreath.

I have my homemade hand soap in a mason jar soap pump I made.

You can also see my new owl Scentsy warmer.  I'm obsessed with Sweet Pea & Vanilla fragrance.

Stove area:

To the right of my stove I put my thrifted lamp & favorite EttaB pottery.  I added 2 fabric rosettes to the shade: one is a gold polka & the other is a strip of leftover curtain fabric.

This was another completely free project-the absolute best kind!

My sister came over and helped me put all my decorations back out, I can always count on her for that!
