Making Over A Beloved Small Kitchen

Your kitchen doesn't have to be enormous to be beautiful.  Just look at this jewel!  I had the opportunity this year (well, honestly, we have been talking about it for a couple of years!) to consult on this pretty makeover for a friend's mother in Delaware.  I wish I could be there to see it all finished and hope to add even more photos to this post as I receive them.

This homeowner has lived in her lovely home for many, many years and raised a large family in this beloved kitchen, but it was overdue for a facelift.  She wanted to use the same footprint that she had as the layout  was nice, but all the surfaces needed updating.  Keeping a close watch on the budget, we decided to use the existing cabinets, but to replace the doors, and to paint the frames.  What a pretty, cost-effective way to approach a remodeling project!

(Note the pretty molding added to the side of the cabinets.)

We chose a bolder shade of the wall color for the backdoor, just for a little pop of color.

(Note the companion lighting to the kitchen sink pendant.)

Beautiful gray floor tile, black granite countertops, and white bevel edged subway tiles for backsplash.

What a beauty!  Definitely worth the wait.
