This was the kitchen on the day of our home inspection (we can hardly believe that was already 9 months ago!)
Here is out kitchen today!! This was only about 6 or 7 hours of work, and will definitely hold us over until the big reno. The pictures came out a little more yellow than the true color because I took these pictures around 7 am with the rising sun shining directly in, so I will try and re-update with color corrected pics later this weekend.
We FINALLY took the plastic off the dishwasher! (although that made for easy painting LOL). This is pretty much our kitchen pride and joy since it is the only fancy appliance we have bought for our "future" kitchen.
Now we are off to the street fair!

It looks great!
It looks awesome! A huge improvement!
LOVE it!! I wouldnt even do a kitchen reno now!!
Love the paint color!!! :0) And all of the white!!!
I will buy you a ticket to come help me...
It looks SO good!! Did you re-do the counter tops or is that paint? So fantastic!
Have you considered trying the stuff that comes in a roll and looks exactly like stainless steel? Actually, I think it is stainless. That might really update the stove. You've done great and it looks completely different.
I love it! I sooo want a white kitchen now. Are you sure you want to do a kitchen reno? Maybe change out the old stove, but it looks great!
What a gorgeous transformation - as usual! Awesome job you guys! I love it!
Looks great! Would love to know how you dealt with the countertops- did you just paint them or replace them?
it looks fantastic! you painted the countertops too??! how does that hold up to food prep and such?
Holly you and your husband did such a wonderful job! Those after pictures look like they belong in a decor magazine!! BEAUTIFUL!!!
Holly it looks amazing!!!!!!
Looks terrific! I think if you add one more shelf above your other one it would be even better..and give you more storage!
Thanks so much everyone!! Darlene, I was thinking about it, but I only want to have stuff I regularly use otherwise it gets dusty. I may have to convice the hubby LOL.
As for the counters, this is weird, but the edge of the laminate was finished with wood (see before photos). So I had to paint that part otherwise it would still be wood. The surface is still the same (unpainted) laminate.
It really looks amazing!
I love it! I really do love the white...but I'm so looking forward to painting my cabinets - black! Oh yeah - I sorta need a house first! LOL

Will you do a cabinet painting tutorial? It looks professional! I noticed a sprayer in one of the photos. Do you guys prefer that over a mini foam roller?
Thanks for any input!

Beautiful! Great work! What a diference! I think you have inspred me to go for a white look :)
Absolutely amazing! I wouldn't do another thing to this kitchen!
It looks great!!!!!
This looks amazing, what an inspiration.
Hey Holly! Your kitchen looks amazing, but I was wondering if you sprayed the entire thing, or just the doors and then painted the outside of the cabinets by hand? My hubby and I are planning on tackling our kitchen cabinets soon and are debating on what would be the best overall way to paint them. Did you just tape everything off or what?
Wow! applause applause applause!!
It looks fantastic... that open shelf with the stacked cake stands and big white bowl. I want to copy it!!
gorgeous! LOVE it, fantastic!!
Wow! That is an amazing transformation. You did a terrific job!
so, so lovely! You were really able to turn that kitchen around, it looks fantastic!
Amazing transformation. Looks like you had your work cut out for you, but your transformations and design is beautiful.
A beautiful after. You've done a great job!
It looks fabulous!
I painted our cabinets recently and it made such a difference! Doesn't it just completely brighten up your kitchen!
Great job!
Wow, what a transformation! I did't even realize it was the same kitchen until I continued reading! I love it!
thats the after?! it looks like a totally different house. i love the brightness of the white! amazing!
I have a question for you. Before painting what did you do to prepare the cabinets? Just sand? the reason I am asking is I painted some oak cabinets white and within a year the paint started chipping off.
Your kitchen looks stunning!!! Going to paint out my hiddeous oak cabinets too! I was wondering if you plan on making that cool hood vent over your stove like you did in your first home?
I noticed you mentioned a paint gun in another post - did you use a paint gun on your cabinets??
wow! can you share your secrets? i want to paint my oak cabinets white. did you just paint them or are they new cabinets? PLEASE share.
