101 in 1001: Kitchen Remodel

I have completed another goal on my 101 in 1001 goal list! This was a HUGE goal too...My husband and I really wanted to get our kitchen remodeled before Lilly was crawling because it was just so old and unsafe. The drawers didn't have any stoppers...some had screws/nails hanging out...they were just awful. We have only been in our new house for a short while so we haven't had to deal with the kitchen for too long but this was definitely a goal we wanted to finish sooner than later!

We are SO excited that the Kitchen is done and we LOVE it...I am in love with the granite counter-top and full backsplash and I love my new delta faucet! Check out our before and after pictures!

BEFORE:
I HATED the brick...so so ugly! I also wasn't a fan of all the mismatching appliances...and we desperately needed a new microwave...ours was new in 1995! We also needed a new dishwasher and range...the fridge is still pretty new.
Up close, you can see how worn the cabinets were...and do you see that nail sticking out of the cabinet?!? It wasn't even something we could pull out...we couldn't get to the head of the nail...the best we could have done was hammer the nail down toward the cabinet. This whole set-up before was just not baby friendly...or mommy friendly. I hated my kitchen.

DURING:
Everything ripped out!

AFTER:
I SUPER PUFFY HEART IT!! The way the cabinets were designed, we have so much more storage space. Before we didn't have a corner cabinet and so the end of the old cabinet was wasted space because we couldn't reach anything back there...now we have a huge corner cabinet that we can put stuff in! The cabinets are also taller...it is exactly what I wanted! Now I love being in my kitchen!
Our new appliances! All matching and I love them all!
Our new delta faucet (Leland Single Handle Pull Down with Soap Dispenser) Aaron and I LOVE LOVE LOVE this faucet! Be on the lookout for a review on this faucet and a giveaway for your chance to win a delta faucet of your choice up to a $300 value!

I am SO SO SO excited to have the kitchen cabinets in and done!! We still have to replace the light and ceiling fan and paint a bit but the big project and goal was getting in the new cabinets and granite!

  1. Wow, it looks fantastic. I love the full backsplash too, I really regret not doing that when we remodeled our kitchen after we bought our house. Congratulations, it must be wonderful having that new kitchen!
