Our New Kitchen!

This post is a little late, but I definitely wanted to document some before and after shots of our kitchen remodel.  All in all, the kitchen remodel was completed in under 3 weeks.  We were pleasantly surprised with how quickly the process went, and we are so so pleased with how everything turned out.  Without adding any square footage to our small kitchen, I feel like we have doubled our work space and at least quadrupled our storage space.  Cooking is fun again because I just love being in there!

Here is the original real estate listing photo of the kitchen...

Certain things are clear-- the laundry is in the kitchen, there are very few cabinets, the stove is just sitting there awkwardly by itself, etc.  One other very important detail is less obvious-- only 1 of those drawers actually opens.  We knew something had to be done.

One year later, here is our new kitchen...

I'm in love.

Now I don't have a fish-eye lens to get the full scale of the first photo, but I think we can all appreciate the difference.  More counterspace.  More cabinets.  More light, bright, and happy!!

 Let's do a little more before and after just for kicks.

As it belonged to previous owners.  Their paint colors.  Their stuff.

Wasted space. No storage.

Love our new pantry!

Where oh where has our laundry gone? I'm so glad you asked.  Follow me this way...

We are now the proud owners of an official laundry closet.  Love it.  And it makes way more sense.  No more folding clean shirts and piling them on the...stove? And the best part is that it looks like it has always been this way.  It all works with this charming, old house, and we are so pleased.
