1964 Kitchen Reborn!
1964
Kitchen is reborn! Since my husband is very handy we decided to
update our kitchen which is the heart of our home now and we
are enjoy cooking and entertaining. Yes, it took longer
than we expected but the outcome was well worth the time.
Luckily the cabinets were solid wood and the ones on the interior side which are 42
inches high is perfect with the interior lighting and yes I use everything in my cabinets on this wall. We figured the cabinets to our
design took out the original wall oven which gave us more
counter space for a coffee station. We upgraded our stove to Gas
Dual/Convection and also our Microwave the same. All new shaker
style doors were made and painted gray on the bottom and the top cabinets
where painted Baby's Breathe, Benjamin Moore. Glass and interior lighting
were added to some cabinets and under cabinet lighting also. We added a
pullout recycle/trash cabinet which was a definite on my list. Our Fireclay Farm
sink is 250 lbs., it highlights the kitchen, they came from Signature
Hardware. Only the granite and mosaic border and backsplash were added by
a marble and granite company in our area. The island table was once a
kitchen table that belonged to my husband's grandmother, when we
received it the legs were cut short so we used as a coffee table, after many years
we took it out of our basement and decided to refurbish and add legs the height
for an island, I love it because it has a distressed look. The light is
an heirloom from my parents’ home which I thought would look great in the
kitchen along with a windowpane mirror I bought after the kitchen was
remodeled. This project took almost a year to complete, since time was limited and now we are enjoying all the hard work that went into our reborn kitchen.
