Kitchen Pictures!

I am going to just put all of these in one post, because I want you guys to see the pictures in order and I don't want to worry about doing the posts in reverse order! Here goes...

DAY 1:

The first step was knocking out the dropped ceiling and fluorescent lights. This made the kitchen feel larger immediately! 

{Side note: You know what else made the kitchen look larger? Removing all of the snack baskets off of the counter! he he he}

After knocking the ceiling out, they worked on putting in and patching up drywall above the cabinets, since there was a 1-2 foot gap.

DAY 2:

They continued to work on the drywall and patching the ceiling. They also cut the holes and did all the wiring for canned lights.


DAY 3: 

The painting of the cabinets began! Well, it was mostly just the priming process. Grammy chose a creamy white color.

The color selection process began. These are just a couple of colors that we looked at for the accent wall. None of them were chosen, however! 
Side note: bless Papa's heart.

DAY 4:

Crown molding went on top of the cabinets!

They also began spraying the cabinets with the final coat of paint.

Doesn't the molding look awesome?? Notice how they put a little molding along the bottom too.

DAY 5:

They knocked out the wall separating the kitchen/dining area and the living room! It looks amazing!
Here's Papa, not knowing what to think...

View from the back door:

Grammy's accent wall got painted! The color she chose is called "Exclusive Plum." Are you surprised she chose "purple"???? ha ha ha. 

The cabinet doors also were put back on! The walls were also painted a light grey color.
Doesn't the kitchen look so nice and bright???? It's amazing! (The fridge is still pulled out for the new flooring to be installed).

More pictures to come!

  3. Wow Grammy your Kitchen is HUGE!!!! Everything looks so much spacier and open with the raised ceiling and open wall. It looks like a whole new house! I must say that I am impressed with the cabinets. the white definitely brightens up the whole kitchen, and the crown molding just looks great. Good for you guys!!
