Before and After Kitchen Renovation
My house by the beach was built in 1928 or 1945. I’m still not completely sure. What I am sure about is that it was time for the kitchen to have a makeover. I had always wanted to remove the wall separating the kitchen from the rest of the living space. Originally I was petrified to make any decisions, but with a little help from Home Depot and a lot of help from my awesome contractor, my kitchen exceeded my wildest dreams:

The kitchen before – wall blocking kitchen area from dining area

Kitchen – old tile, cabinets and odd location of attached lower counter/table in middle of room

View from kitchen to deck, which does have water views. One sliding glass door blocked by wall.

Kitchen sink and window – looks at nearby neighbor’s house. Dated













I love my Louis Poulsen light fixture

Wow! Your renovations look awesome! The timing couldn’t be more perfect now that you are spending all of your time at home. I’m really happy for you.
Thanks so much Audrey – I am loving the new kitchen and you are right, we are sure spending a lot more time at home these days. Stay well!
What an awesome job. Thanks for recommendation on where to buy. I love the elephant print. Safari reminder?
Thank you so much Rosemary – yes, the elephant is definitely a reminder of that wonderful trip. So glad I did all that traveling last year, such a disappointment for people who have to cancel their long awaited plans.
This came together so nicely! Great job
Thank you so much. It has had quite a workout this past month with 5 of us sheltering at home. So glad it was finished before this happened!
