Kitchen renovation

 Hello hello!!  Happy New Year!  

I know I've been MIA for quite a bit.  We've been working on a project.

The Kitchen!

It's really just a refresh.  We plan to switch up the whole house and make the living room into a big kitchen...someday.  

We have to save our pennies (and dollars) first.

For now we are updating our current kitchen to make it prettier and more functional!

This is where we started (please ignore the horrible pictures.  These are from the listing when we bought the house.  It was so ugly I never wanted pictures of it):

Everything was different shades of green and the appliances were so outdated they started to die almost immediately. 

This is what we had updated too as the appliances died:

Still ugly, but at least we could cook now.  Also, we added the cute dog :)

We knew when we started this remodel that it wasn't going to be our forever kitchen.  After we add the new kitchen I would love to turn this into a laundry room.  Our laundry is currently in the basement and that's never really nice.  

That being said, this started out as just new countertops and sink...

then we decided to change the floor so we can replace the dishwasher...

then we decided that the cabinets are just not our style at all, so new doors will be added and the boxes will be painted...

then we figured if we were changing the floor and the cabinets we should move the stove over so it's not against the wall anymore...

Now we have quite the project going on.  But it will be worth it.

This is where we're going:

We have been working on it for awhile now.  That's why I didn't post any Christmas pictures.  The whole house is somehow taken over with this.  So I didn't get much decorated.  

Since the holidays are over we are full steam ahead and hope to finish in the next month.  I'll keep you posted on updates soon! 

Do you have any projects you're working on in the new year?  I would love to see your new ideas!

XOXO,
