Kitchen

kitchen 1 (before)

kitchen 2 (before)

We had to gut the entire kitchen. There was a door that we closed and turned it into a window.

kitchen 3 (before)

Through this little arch is the dining area. As you can see we opened it all up.

kitchen 5 (after)

The kitchen cabinets are distressed white washed pine for a rustic and informal look. The glass in the top cabinets also adds light. We had the extractor hood made out of the same stone used for our fireplace two years before I actually got the kitchen cabinets. The countertop and backsplash are granite .

kitchen 4 (after)

There's so much light in this kitchen. We also made an old-fashioned window sill on the inside. I love my white porcelain farm sink. I also love the fact that my sink has legs!

kitchen 1 (after)

If you look good and hard you can see this is the "little arch" that we opened. This picture is looking in from the dining area. Look again, there ARE pulls & handles on the cabinets…they're antique glass so not to take away from the woodwork. It took more than two years to complete the indoor kitchen, do you think it was worth the wait?
