We purchased this home in September of 2009 and planned to first concentrate on removing wallpaper (on unprimed walls! and painting in all rooms, removing the popcorn ceilings and re-plastering in all rooms, in addition to removing the carpet and replacing with hardwood in all common areas. We also planned to paint the kitchen walls and cabinets to spruce things up a bit while we saved for a complete remodeled kitchen. Unfortunately, we were so tired by the time we got to the kitchen (we were planning a wedding at the same time!, we decided to keep everything as is until we could afford the remodel! FINALLY (2 years later, we can say that we are done!

Boring and neat to Tres Magnifique! Our French Country Style home's kitchen needed to be brought in to the 21st century but we really wanted to keep it in the style and character of the rest of the home.

Our coastal 1925 cottage had been added onto several times. Unfortunately the kitchen was pieced together with shotty workmanship and bits and pieces of left over materials. The entire floor structure, electrical, plumbing and windows had to be replaced which added quite a bit to our estimated costs. 4 months later we have a warm, cozy, rustic space with just enough modern appeal. Truly a place now to gather with family and friends. On to the next project......

I tell my husband almost everyday how much I love my new kitchen - which he "built" for me! I had the typical 60's or 70's kitchen which only had enough space for one cook and where you felt isolated from the rest of the home. We demolished a cinder block wall that kept me divided and lonely from the dining/living area and created this fabulous Great Room. Now, when we have gatherings, everyone always sits around the huge island in the center. Couldn't be more thrilled!!!!!

Over the last year, I transformed a strip of grass and a narrow pathway in the front of my house into a beautiful courtyard with a bronze gate, tiled patios an outdoor fireplace and a Koi pond. No I don't do this for a living, but I am open to any job opportunities. HGTV are you listening?.

This multipurpose room is seen directly from our small galley kitchen. As the kitchen has an elegant wine bar feel we tried to make this laundry/utility room feel more like an old world pantry. The dry good jars are real space savers but don't let the bagettes fool you - they’re fake! Baskets hold everything: detergent first aid aprons light bulbs extension cords etc. We leave the door open more often now which makes the kitchen feel like it has a bit more square footage.

We purchased our outdated 1964 home 10 years ago and have been remodeling it slowly. We recently finished the kitchen/laundry addition. One of the main drawbacks of our home was the fact that there was no laundry room. The washer and dryer were previously located in a small closet off of the main hallway.
After much thought, we decided to include the washer/dryer in the new kitchen area. We'd seen this many times in European homes and decided it would be a good fit for us as well. So far, I've really enjoyed it. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen and it has been really handy! Also the high counter tops over the washer/dryer makes a great buffet area, easily accessible to the patio area (coming soon...
By far, the most difficult item for me to pick out was the counter tops. I really love the look of cement but was nervous to use it because it's not as durable. After months of looking at different materials we finally decided on quartz counter tops by Caesarstone in Raven. Hard to tell in the photos, but it's a very soft black/deep gray. We went with stained concrete for my table though and I absolutely LOVE it! In fact, it's my favorite part of the kitchen!
I've spent countless hours both watching HGTV and browsing here on the website getting ideas for the remodel. RATE MY SPACE was the source of much inspiration and I've been looking forward to finally adding my own photos to it :
Our goal was to create a warm, cozy kitchen area that all four of us could enjoy. Used warm colors to help counter the LONG, gray Oregon days. We're happy with the results!
Thanks for taking a look :

We started by painting the walls. After 3 attempts at trying to find the right color we finally settled on Benjamin Moore-Kingsport Gray. We moved on to painting the cabinets black and changing out the hardware with pulls we bought from Ebay Store "Hinges and More". We retrofit the kitchen sink cabinet to fit a new farmhouse sink. We added under cabinet and overhead lighting. We hired a fabricator to install the Giallo Beach granite we picked out for the countertop and the Bedrosian Ice Crackle MGICG2 Mosaic Glass tile backsplash. I ordered the island/table from the IKEA - Udden Console. By removing the backsplash on the console I was able to repurpose, what is meant to be a cabinet base, for additional workspace and seating.

NOTE: I cannot get the lighting on my camera set up correctly so the pics are not the best.
As promised....I am starting to post photos of the interior of our house. Just as the rest of the house....we gutted the kitchen and started over. We added all new cabinets, added granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, added a pantry, added hardwood floors, new windows, added a mudroom, etc...
