In Progress Kitchen Reno Reveal

13 years ago

I did a little in progress reveal of my kitchen on the kitchen site here, but since y'all have been involved in the rest of the first floor transformation, I wanted to bring these pictures over here. There's still a lot to do, but I think the change does me good! Range hood goes in tomorrow (and I'll have to ditch my John Besh autograph to accommodate it).

This is only the prep and cooking zone. There's a full sized sink across the room. The fridge is just off to the left of this shot.

I love it!

Looks like it really flows well with your living room (which I loved from day one.)

Most people shy away from removing uppers when doing a kitchen, but I think it looks so nice, open and fresh.

Is that tile on the wall? And may I ask what kind of oven you have there?

There were upper in the original kitchen, as you can see, but once we removed the glass block and framed out the window to match the rest of the trim in the house...well, it just didn't make sense to put back cabinets I couldn't reach anyway.

There are uppers in the fridge alcove and in the back door nook area. I use them from dishes and pantry storage.

It is tile - polished Florida flower in onyx with white grout. I really like it. It's graphic, but not too modern. The range is an Electrolux Icon (30" all gas, but I think there is a dual fuel option).

I agree that it flows nicely from the living room and it just looks so *fresh*. I really like the tile.. and the newly framed window looks great! (I am thrilled because I am planning to frame out a number of windows in my new house).

Patiently waiting for more photos!

Thanks everyone. This has been one of my more gratifying projects. I cannot wait to finally get the kitchen bits out of the dining room and get the first floor ready for its close up. Today, I am picking out wallpaper for the first floor powder room...and that's my last "major" project on this floor.

This weekend I am painting a very wide accent stripe behind my grandmother's figurine lamps and hanging a more vertical mirror behind them. I also have quite a bit of painting to do: trim, touch up, etc. Ugh. All my least favorite projects.

I feel like I still have *a lot* of accessorizing to do, but you can't rush that. We also have a lot of framing to do.

We should probably redo the deck this year, but I think I am going to put it off until the fall. I just want to kick back and enjoy not having any construction workers coming in and out.
