A Cozy Kitchen 

Greetings and Happy September!  

I just finished a cozy condo kitchen remodel that I'd like to share with you! 

Here are a couple of before and after pics. 

The last homeowner made these cabinets and they were rough! Narrow doorways left a lot to be desired. My clients wish was to replace them, add 2 new appliances, new flooring, lighting and a stylish backsplash!




I chose taller 40" cabinets from IKEA,  a fresh coat of neutral tan paint for the walls, large 18" tile flooring, and a gorgeous tile backsplash which adds such depth and dimension to this kitchen!




Upper cabinets before and after.

A dramatic difference from pink and white to warm tones of walnut!

Rules to live by:

1. Brighten up the space!  Always add under cabinet lighting. I prefer if you cannot see the actual puck lights, so we may be adding a light rail to conceal them!

2. Show it off!  Allow for variety for the eyes!! I love glass doors to showcase glassware. I install them a lot so include them whenever possible!

3. Add a Pattern: A backsplash is the finishing touch! its like the jewelry to an outfit!
