My Kitchen - redecorated

[kimlovescats]

A couple of people commented on my kitchen in some pictures in Cat General, so I said I would post my "new" kitchen. Hubby and I painted the cabinets and walls and he put up beadboard and chair railing. I'm so proud of him!

That looks great Kim! Very beautiful! Everything looks so clean and crisp yet there is warmth to it. Nice!

I'm so envious of pretty kitchens. Ours is a 70s nightmare. We've update just about everything else in this house so it's time to bring the that room into the present and out of the outdated past.

Thank you all!

Lori, you've done such a great job with the rest of your house, I know your kitchen will be fantastic too! Can't wait to see it! Be sure to take "before" shots too!

I thought the before pic was the after pic at first too!!!

I love them both.

Can I hire your husband, or whomever redid your kitchen?? Mine is white white white, and was since I moved in 3 years ago. There are some red accessories, but other than that, it's all white. I wouldn't mind the white, but the cabinets are all IKEA cheapos... IKEA does have some really nice cabinets, but these are NOT them!

PS... the pic is from moving in day 3yrs ago... so, some appliances have changed.

What a beautiful job! I absolutely love it.

Absolutely wonderful and really warm and cosy, I love my kitchen too and love to have warm wonderful colours in it so if you don't mind I love the colour or your walls and will be taking some hints from you and maybe copying the red....

Kim I love what you have done!! Hubby and I re-did our kitchen last year too and there is such a feeling of pride when you can do some of the work like we did too. I love watching all of the HGTV shows and especially Designed to Sell. Are you sure you didn't get your ideas from Lisa LaPorta? LOL!

O WOW !!!!! That is a very nice change!! The red walls add such a warmth!!!

Oh, Kim, I have to agree that both versions of your kitchen are lovely. In fact I can't decide which one I like best, although I do think I lean toward the revised version. In any event, a change is always nice.

Was the counter top always red or did you change that too? It is difficult to see exactly in the before version. Did you have any qualms about painting the cabinets? Our cabinets are oak like yours and it is hard to decide if we will be improving them by painting.

Please put me on *the list* (after Jenn of course) for kitchen consultation, design and most importantly execution of the plan. I'm not kidding either.

Ok Kim, thats simply beautiful! I LOVE the beadboard! You should be VERY VERY proud of yourself!

Now, I know you.... no redecorating this masterpiece any time soon

Very nice. I really like it. Hubby and I are also in the process of painting in the house we painted our kitchen a red color too. It's called CranApple from Behr.

I like the floor too. I've always been a fan of the black and white.
