House tour: kitchen & dining area.

I’ve done a lot of posts lately about my kitchen update, so this part of the “virtual tour” might be a bit redundant. {You can see the first post – the living room – here.}

Let’s take in the awesome before shots…

This duck head with the red eyes freaked me out so much…even worse than the rusted sink!

And now for the after shots with all the updates we’ve made including: removing cabinets for new appliances, enlarging the doorway, buying stainless steel appliances, painting cabinets, leaving some cabinets as open shelving, painting & stenciling the floor, cutting/sealing/installing Ikea butcher block countertops, buying low-divide undermount sink, creating a glass mosaic backsplash, sewing some curtains, and putting up a vintage plate wall. {Whew!} That all brings us to what our kitchen and dining area looks like now…

I love this sink. It’s so easy to wash big pans and cookie sheets. Love it.

{We still have to figure out the best way to fill in the missing floor boards from when we opened doorway. We’ll probably get new floors for the kitchen someday and carry it a bit into the doorway.}

And two comparison shots to conclude…

Lots of hard work went into this space & I’m really please with the end result. :)
