Looks great! The new upper cabinets don't look any taller than the old ones. Did you raise them, or lower the ceiling?

Very cute! You should change your post title to a "reveal" or a "before and after" to get more attention.

I love it. I actually like small galley kitchens. The counters are gorgeous. You did a great job.

Very nice!

Awesome!

looks like a place I'd love to cook in!

Tremendous improvement. Well done! Enjoy it.

Thanks so much for the nice comments! The upper cabinets are actually taller than the old ones (except the two above the sink). We had the soffit removed so they could go to the ceiling and also give us a little bit more under counter height. Wow, now that I look at this picture again, it's hard to believe everything fit.

That is a fantastic makeover! It looks so much lighter and airier!

Love the way it turned out!

Nancy, love your sink - well, love the whole result! Who makes the sink? And can you tell us about your counters - type of wood, finish etc.

We have a galley too. I love working in it, compared to my former L. Yours is cute as a button.

Beautiful kitchen.

Looks great!

Thank you! Everything is from IKEA. The cabinets are Bodbyn white, the countertops are called Karlby (in walnut), and the double farmhouse sink was so inexpensive compared to others we priced.

Beautiful

Gorgeous...love the IKEA walnut Countertops

Those countertops are gorgeous. The one long stretch of counter makes the space so much bigger and more open. Great design job.

having the floor tile on the diagonal also helps with the optical illusion of making the kitchen seem bigger. looks good!

Beautiful transformation. Looks like you transitioned to a counter depth refrigerator. I did too and makes a huge difference.

Nice!

Amazing transformation.

Love it! I’m about to start renovating a small kitchen, so I’m curious about your appliances. Can you give detail on your choices? I’m struggling with what will fit best. Thanks!

Wow. I’m going to ikea today!

terryshope, thanks! all appliances were from ikea.

Here are the details...

Refrigerator: Nutid side-by-side (counter depth saver)

Cooktop: Eldig 4 element glass ceramic

Oven: Nutid thermal self-cleaning

Dishwasher: Spolad built-in

Microwave: Betrodd with extractor fan

We chose IKEA mainly for the convenience and the 5-year warranty. We've only had them a few months but so far so good and no complaints, other than the dishwasher taking longer than our old one. It's super quiet though and does a good job.

Awesome! Also have a small galley kitchen (NYC!), but have to say i like it better than my previous L. Have fun cooking in there!

Amazing! Now that is a kitchen that you'd want to spend time in!

Love it and the way you decorated it! Enjoy

Wow, what a transformation! I love the way the light is reflected in your new kitchen and gives it so much life. You really did a great job- Have fun in your beautiful new kitchen!

Beautiful transformation.

Amazing job on your kitchen remodel! It looks amazing!

Looks beautiful! Enjoy your "new" space!

I love the Cabinets

That looks lovely! The lighter colors definitely help make it appear larger. I love the color scheme.

What an absolutely fabulous amazing kitchen you have now.. i love the cabinets, floor, counter, etc.. you did an awesome job! you maximized every square inch and did an awesome job

Amazing work!

This renovation, I LOVE! That last photo that shows the floor in and the cabinet just starting to get hung. I can't believe you fit everything in there either. You can see a number of decisions you made to make that small space look larger. All together, it just sings! It's so cozy, light and airy. The glass doors on the uppers, excellent. Diagonal on the floor, always amazes me how that makes a space look larger. The wood counter is the star! Beautiful, beautiful job!

As the former owner of a galley kitchen, this warms my heart! The new fridge and bringing the cabinets up to the ceiling really helped!

I can't tell if the cabinets are standard depth or a shallow, but they seem fit to the space you have very well too.

I love the warm wood counters against the cabinets. It's a nice balance.

Fabulous makeover!!! Very inspiring!

Wow, this is a stunning transformation - and your countertops are the bomb!

I just noticed something, did you take out a dishwasher? And I'd be very interested to know what the dimensions of that space are.
