Kitchen Reno Before & After

8 years ago

I am sharing my new kitchen because I extensively used Houzz forums to research items. It was an invaluable resource so I'm sharing my pics and products. I went with Ikea Grimslov cabinets, Caesarstone Piatra Grey Countertops, Ikea Domsjo single bowl farm sink, Delta Allentown faucet which reminds me of an old fashion water pump, Pottery Barn Ella Hammered knobs and pulls, beveled white subway tile and a combo ceiling fan/filament light. I designed the layout myself. It was a tough room to redo do to the odd shape and window placement. There are just a few minor details left which include a reclaimed wood floating shelf about the window cutout and a matching reclaimed wood pass through countertop as well as curtain that I will be making myself in a lovely Waverly grey & gold floral pattern. My goal was a modern farmhouse look. Just paying it forward. I hope this helps someone else.

Nice! And then where did you put the fridge?

I've got some tough angles to work with and a window that is off center so the fridge is now just to the right of an angled doorway opening. Curtain will soon cover the washer/dryer area.

Brava! You did a fantastic job. I love how you managed that tricky space. That must have taken a great deal of planning and measuring and re-measuring and re-measuring.

Very nice! I love that fan. Is there any possible way to open up that passthrough more?

Since I'm in a townhouse, the floor has to be redone for the entire downstairs. I can't just do the kitchen. Right now I have to live with the ceramic tile that is down but I hope to lay a wood look type of floor down in the near future. I can't do wood due to moisture conditions in South FL. The current tile is fairly neutral so I can live with it for a bit.

The passthrough window is large enough for my tastes. I like a little separation of rooms. Plus, I'd lose cabinet and shelf space which I cannot afford to lose.

I was actually thinking taller for the passthrough.

Great job! So nice to see a before and after of a kitchen that isn't just a total demo but works with the previous constraints and comes out fresh, clean, and beautiful.
