KITCHEN REFRESH – THE INSPIRATION

October 6, 2017 By Aniko 14 Comments

You guys! I am a bit late but heck we are giving our kitchen a little refresh in the next six weeks. Say what!

 

Yup! I am signing up for the challenge once again.:-) This picture below was my last makeover, THE COZY BREAKFAST NOOK.

I love challenges, and it seems like every time I sign up for the One Room Challenge hosted by Linda over at Calling it Home, it turns out to be a fantastic makeover. Why? Becuase I love to be motivated, and I love to finish every makeover in six short weeks. I know that if there was no deadline, I would maybe procrastinate with all my projects lol. You can find all my makeovers listed below. They were all fun!

LIVING ROOM

FAMILY ROOM 

GUEST BATHROOM

BREAKFAST ROOM

So what’s in my basket this time?

KITCHEN REFRESH! I am so super excited about this project, guys! I’ve been itching to tackle this kitchen refresh for a long time but I just never got to it yet.

When we moved into our home, almost ten years ago, we had oak cabinets that were originally built in. I hated them from the beginning, but of course, we did not get to remodel it for a few more years.

Then fast forward four years, we decided to give it a go and remodel our kitchen. Back then I was all about dark cabinets. We planned out our kitchen using IKEA cabinets, and we assembled everything from the boxes. It was a huge remodel, but it was also a budget-friendly remodel. We did everything on our own and just to mention, I was 38 weeks pregnant. Yeah! I was hoping that project will help me to get into labor lol.

So this time around we won’t make huge changes. Outlined is my plan for this space:

  • PAINT UPPER AND LOWER CABINETS
  • PAINT BACKSPLASH
  • TILE FLOOR
  • ADD BUTCHER BLOCK TO THE ISLAND
  • TAKE OUT MICROWAVE (we never use it) and ADD A RANGE HOOD
  • TAKE OUT CABINETS AND BUILD OPEN SHELVES (to the right side of the window)

Well, I think this is it! And here is my mood board for this kitchen refresh and I am hoping to get the look close to what you see on my mood board.

So what do you think? Please help me to choose the right tiles. I really would love to stick to black and white, but I am undecided on which tile I should go with! Leave me a comment, and I hope you will be following along in this fun Kitchen refresh!

My beautiful tiles will be provided by Wayfair!



Thanks for checking in today!

Cheers,

Aniko

    I know it’ll turn out amazing, as usual Aniko! I see you’re going to be updating your backsplash by painting it – why not try Smart Tiles – they’re peel and stick tiles. You can stick them onto your existing tiles! Super easy application. Just a thought 😉

    You’re kitchen is going to look amazing when it’s done! I think the lower left tile would look best with your design.

    Ooh, I love that top left tile option! Kind of faded but so pretty, that’s got my vote 🙂 I’m excited to see what you do! I wish we were going to be able to get anything in our house done in six weeks, haha, but I’m planning on doing black cabinets in our kitchen too 🙂
