How about this dramatic kitchen transformation?
“From dark and dated to light and airy..” If you’ve read our other #transformationtuesday posts, you may notice that this is a theme. It is a pattern we love following! Taking a room from an enclosed, dated-looking space to one that is more timeless and open and functional for everyday use is consistently a positive change.

BEFORE
Compare the flooring, backsplash tile, and cabinet color between these two photos.
Before: Small-squared tile with difficult to clean grout, warm wood cabinets with dated hardware, and white backsplash with dark green banding.
After: Wood-look tile (we love this!), blue-gray painted cabinets that compliment blues in nearby area of the home in the bottom with bright white, clean-lined cabinets above to visually lift the ceiling, and light gray glass tiles backing the entire kitchen wall

BEFORE:
We knocked out some walls! By moving the sink and taking out the wing of the counter pictured above, we expanded the back living area.
Even though this was a small space with a limited budget, this transformation was a “stunner”. We removed all the heavy brick pillars and raised the ceiling in the kitchen to give a larger feel to a more petite footprint.
We brought so much more functionality to both the kitchen area and the dining/wine retreat area by removing the existing counter area and opening this up without losing storage.
Using two tone cabinets gives more interest to a more predictable design adding value, and unexpected touch to this modern look
