Kitchen Makeover Before & After Photos

After much time, I've decided to give in and post on my kitchen makeover progress.  I successfully painted the kitchen cabinetry, Tim installed the flooring, we painted the walls, and purchased bead-board.  We have yet to complete the bead-board and trim installation, but our progress is satisfying and enjoyable to see.  So, please enjoy!




The details of my kitchen makeover materials can be found by following my Kitchen Makeover Link

Before & After:


































Waiting for the makeover:




Cleaning and Prepping:













Original flooring, and my broken oven (it's still waiting for retirement).


Ready to be primed:






A few coats of Primer:














A few coats of Butter Yellow Inside:












Future work includes replacing these panels with white Bead-Board



I lightly spray painted the hardware 'antique white' to allude a distressed look:






Original hardware, with a new look. 
 I hadn't noticed before the makeover, but the handles are Fleur de Lis.  


Butter Yellow walls




Cabinet makeover Complete!







Since the painting of the cabinetry, the flooring has been layed, and the existing trim painted white.  We will be mounting base board as soon as the weather permits our working outside with the saw's. 
The countertops will be replaced completely.  I like butcher block, Tim prefers stone.  Once again, to be continued...

Come home soon!

Oh wow!!! This is fantastic! I love seeing these "Before & After" pictures!! You did a fabulous job! Where did you find those chair covers? I purchase 8 covers online over the holiday because the picture on the package looked just like the ones you have but as it turns out they did NOT look this way when I put them on. I was going for this exact look you have here and would love to know where I could find some like this. :)
