My Kitchen Renovation

I know it's kinda late to be posting about this, especially since I no longer live in this house, but I put alot into this kitchen and I really love how it turned out.  So lets start at the begining...

When I bought my little house in 2006 it looked like this


Don't you just love the wallpaper??  And it looks so good with that patterned backsplash.  I won't even talk about the lovely shade of orange...yet.


 Hey look...more of that fabulous wallpaper!!  And what about that flooring.  I can't even tell you what it is, but it looked and felt dirty no matter what.  I would also like to point out the strange orange glow coming from the side wall.  Pretty isn't it?


There is the orange wall.  Seroiusly, what kind of colour is that?

Anyway, before I even moved in, and on an extremely tight budget, I turned it into this...


Love the new floors... thanks dad!!

Apparently, I didn't take any other pictures of the kitchen (Eitheer that or I lost the pics in one of my many computer crashes...lol)
But here it is after living in it for a few years.  Definately not enough cupboard or counter space.


So after 3 years I'd finally had enough and decided on a bigger renovation.  Of course, it has to get worse before it gets better...


Don't you just love the plywood countertop?

But eventualy it got better, and I absolutely love the final result....







Then this year I moved...and started all over again.  I'll share that with you when it's all done.

  4. I love the transformation as it looks lovely and uplifting. The plants made the area refreshing. I wonder what your present kitchen looks like. Why did you move? Well, I’m confident enough that you have been able to come up with a beautiful kitchen just like this one in your new home. ;)
