Looks so much better. A big pat on the back.

I think you did a great job.

Looks great! You might want to consider LED lighting under the upper cabinets to light the work surface without the shadows your overhead light causes. Dimmable ones make great night lights in the kitchen too. Think about a colorful rug at the sink and under the table. ruggable.com has washable ones you might want to check out.

You did a great job! Very pretty! It's very neutral (which I like) so maybe try adding a colorful rug or gel mat in a color that makes you happy in place of the mat in front of your sink, to get you in a spring mood. :)

Maybe, to be honest : some glass doored fronts.....different hardware...under cabinet task lights. but given your scope and "keeping things as is" ...what you did with tones, updating the feel and staying classic/not trendy is a success. You may add a window valance/floor mats or runners...and you have a great backdrop for things like that. It's a very fine update and seems you kept within a budget...Just enjoy the beautiful light space.

You should be thrilled!

If you feel like it’s missing something, consider painting the walls your favorite color.

Everything looks great. I might be tempted to change the overhead light in the middle of the kitchen. I like a more simple light there (just my tastes)

Nicely done! I like the suggestions of adding the rug for some color and glass-front cabinets.

Your renovation looks quite good - very serene, in fact. I do agree with one of the other posters - some glass fronted cabinets would add to your overall look. You might consider adding accessories that would add some color punch. Also agree with another poster that adding some downlights would improve your renovation even more. If there is a way to hid your trashcan I would do that as well. All in all, it looks great!

I would use a bigger rug and a window treatment and a better trash can. The kitchen looks very nice

"Is there anything you would have done differently? Changes you would make?"

It's YOUR kitchen. Start using it and enjoy : ) .

A remodel is like having a baby. Traumatic at the time and you wonder why the heck you thought it was a good idea, but you soon forget lol.

I think it looks nice :-) Ditto what other's suggested...Some accent color that coordinates with rest of the house by way of accessories, towels, and a rug. If the garbage can't go under the sink or in another cabinet, perhaps a stainless steel one that blends in a little more on the end.

You did an amazing job! I love the palette. i hope you enjoy it tremendously!

One tiny thing, when you can, perhaps get a Simple Human garbage can, or one like it. It's sleeker looking and looks more finished, IYKWIM.

I like it! I especially like the floor. That's the color I will go for when we replace our first floor flooring eventually. Enjoy your light and bright kitchen!

Excellent upgrade. It looks beautiful. Enjoy!

I like it - congrats and enjoy!!

Cool, serene, neutral palate that could take a lot of different colors of accessories. Don't think that it will look dated in the future either. Shades of green would look great, I think! How about a stainless steel trash can? I'd only do glass doors if there was nice stuff behind them. No mistakes - I really like the way it looks!

It looks good. Consider a different (stainless) trash can and ceiling light fixture.

Hi, I am not an expert by any stretch of imagination... I agree with what others said, you did a fantastic job! it is beautiful, yet we second guess ourselves most of the time, I am learning to embrace it :)

I have a very similar layout, here are my 2 cents for small additional changes that will be cost effective:

you could get a stainless steel trashcan like the simple human,

you could get a blind for the window, I have this one from Ikea and it looks much better in person and provides some wood tones, they have some fabric ones too if you prefer https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70353705/

you could change the light, some examples: https://www.potterybarn.com/products/mccarthy-3-light-glass-pendant/?catalogId=41&sku=5453829&cm_ven=PLA&cm_cat=Google&cm_pla=Lighting%20%3E%20Pendants&cm_ite=5453829&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIv7ac4pGt4gIVl6_sCh27CAY8EAQYASABEgI0W_D_BwE

if you want to spend more money, I would remove the microwave and put a modern hood, this made such a difference in my kitchen, but you need to have another space for the microwave or learn to live without it :)

I would agree with the rug but I am pretty bad with colors, so cannot comment on that.

Hope it helps!

IT's not about what any of us think and nor should you care.... When you come into the kitchen in the morning to make coffee are you happy? Does the space make you smile? DO you get a warm fuzzy feeling about what you have accomplished? That is what matters - not stressing over what others think. Celebrate what you have done and enjoy it! Have confidence in your selections... no one has to love them any more than you...

Great job

Hi, congratulations on completing a big project :))

could add some spunk if you wish based on your interests, time & budget if & when it allows.

Before & After

Above have added a dark paint band, chandelier, floor mat, plant.

Hardware could be changed eventually with contrast colour r dark grey black finish.

Also you could add some wooden shelves above your trash can with some artwork & plant..

or a eating wall mount small counter with a stool,

chalk board paint on wall maybe.

Enjoy your remodelled kitchen!

I had the same feeling when we remodeled and it eventually went away. Now I love all the choices we made!! I think I was just being overly critical before we settled in, but now I really wouldn’t change a thing! And your kitchen looks great!

Looks great! The only thing that stood out to me is that garbage can as others mentioned. Not only is the Simple Human pretty, it so functional and reliable.

I too would add a bolder rug, but overall, it's really nice.

Did you expect people to tell you that after considerable expense, emotional turmoil and physical dislocation, your kitchen was an aesthetic disaster? LOL

Lol! I was just wanting some honest opinions I guess. Haha!

@Araeha Dodge - I concur with everyone else - it has lovely bones but needs some szhushing with accessories. There is a thread on Lisa Vanderpump's new white kitchen and she has pink Le Creuset cookware on her stove- not that I'm suggesting you need pink but just pointing out that accessories can really personalize one's kitchen..

It was an improvement. right now it's so neutral that it lacks life. I like

chuppi suggestions.

It needs color!

Beautiful colors! Two suggestions, extend the backsplash tile up to the ceiling as it will make the room look taller and finish off the space and add can lights in the ceiling to lighten the room. Otherwise looks great!

Very nice!!

It's not too late to convert the cabinet to the right of the sink to something like this:

And just curious - did you take wood floors out and put in vinyl?

I think you've done a very nice job. But I would remove that light fixture in the ceiling and put in cans instead when you can afford to do so. It will make your kitchen look far more updated and the difference in the light for working is amazing. Also add, under cabinet lighting. Both can be done anytime you can afford it. For now, just enjoy your new kitchen.

@thinkdesignlive Im planning on adding can lights in the near future! And the floors before we’re sheet vinyl before, not wood. The new floors are vinyl plank.

Also it is an open kitchen & whatever accessories you choose to add eventually should blend in with rest of space..

I’ve added a few accessories. Trying to make it feel “modern farmhouse”. I tried adding some color on the shelf and bringing in some contrast with the black lids on the canisters... Thoughts?

I’m wanting to add a window treatment/valance of some sort.... I was thinking a natural bamboo like pictured or should I go with a colorful valance??

Hey Araeha Dodge,

your upgrade looks amazing! It really doesn't need to be changed but if i would suggest anything it would be to select cabinet hardware that can add a nice contrast or pop of color. However changing them is not needed. Seriously, you did a great job!

I love the hardware you have now. It goes with the serene vibe.

What floor did you use?

Missed this gorgeous kitchen when you first put it up. What a great job you did! Yes to the new garbage can and lighting , when you can.
