After many weeks, we finally finished the walls and trim of the kitchen! We still have a few things to replace, like the light over the table and the faucet, but the room looks so much better than before.
A couple of before shots:
And after! I would like to hang a series of my nature photos on the far wall, similar to Emily's dining area, because that wall looks a little bare still (there is a weird reflection on the wall in the photo).
With the wall removed and new doors on the guest bedrooms, the little hallway is much brighter.
The kitchen end doesn't look too much different in the photos, but we painted and re-caulked the window as well as re-caulked the counter and it really brightened up the place. The wallpaper above the cupboards was a huge pain, but now that it is gone there is no more wallpaper in the house!
I also painted the foyer this week. I still have to go back and paint the trim and closet, but it also looks a lot better. I only have one more room and three more closets to paint in the entire house!
Your kitchen look fabulous - the doors to the bdrms looked like they had been painted, but you said new ones. Did you get solid doors, they lower the noise level a great amt but are pricy. You take such beautiful pictures they will really dress up the walls.
ReplyDeleteThe kitchen sink area looks so much brighter. It must have been hard to get the paper off that high, skinny area. Looking forward to seeing all the new stuff in Oct.

Thanks Jane! We bought new doors for the bedrooms and I painted them. They are not solid, just regular interior doors. The old doors had holes in them from the vents so we could not completely close off the rooms like we like to do in the summer and winter. Looking forward to your visit!
