Modern Farmhouse Kitchen makeover

white and grey kitchen with roman shade and red-orange gerbera daisies

Well, the latest makeover to my little kitchen is finally DONE my friends!

I've been sporting a big smile each time I set foot in here. I keep saying to myself: Oh, the power of paint!

That's true, this kitchen makeover was a plain and simple paint makeover, bringing new life to a tired kitchen.

But, let me show you around...

grey kitchen island and white cabinets with stripped rug and roman shade and red/orange accents

York Three Light Pendant | Kitchen Island Makeover | Kitchen Stools

The cabinets were painted BM - White Dove - Advance - Satin finish
The range hood and island were painted: BM Ashland Slate - Advance - Satin finish

Re-painting the kitchen cabinets was almost the same process as when I painted the stained cabinets for the first time, just a tiny bit easier. But, you can read everything about that process right HERE.

In order to really appreciate the final result, you have to go back to the beginning. The builder's grade kitchen got a big makeover seven years ago. I kept the same layout, but the cabinets and island were spruced up with moldings and paint.

Almost three years ago, the island got a new color and the roman shade got covered with a piece of fabric, and whoa, that was a big change!

However, seven years of daily use put a lot of stress on the cabinet's paint treatment. They needed a fresh coat of paint.

Well, that's what I did besides adding some new decorative elements, like the window shade.

The relaxed roman shade was one of the last projects I tackled. The fabric I used: Eaton Alana Navy. I bought it at Jo-Ann fabrics. I thought it was going to be a difficult project, but thanks to the wonderful tutorial shared by Kristi right HERE. I only spent a full afternoon making this shade.

I'm going through a white and blue crush at the moment. As soon as I spotted these little condiment containers at Homegoods I had to have them, they're so cute!

Red/orange gerbera daisies in kitchen counter

I incorporated this red/orange color, in order to bring contrast and a good punch of color into the kitchen.

I gave the kitchen a very neutral color scheme, and that's going to give me the perfect canvas to incorporate colorful accessories, given that I like to change my décor with the seasons.

Range Hood Makeover | Area Rug | Plate Rack

The range hood was the only one piece that I changed this time. It got a less traditional trim and paint.

The added wooden band on the lower part of the hood ties up with the other wooden elements, not only in the kitchen, but also in the contiguous dining room/office.

Some more white and blue accent pieces on the open shelves, plus some touches of copper for good measure. ;)

Here, the view from the breakfast nook. Oh, I'm so happy with new the light fixtures! These were very economical lights. I'm not going to feel guilty if I change them in the near future. ;)

The table was set using the same palette. My sil gave me this set of napkins with this cute crossed stitched design.

Throughout the years I've brought storage and organization to most of my kitchen. This time the one cabinet that was in dear need of some order was the one under the kitchen sink. I'm delighted with the way it looks and operates right now.

Cabinet Pulls | Cabinet Knobs

One element that you can easily update in your kitchen is the hardware. Brand new knobs and pulls are easy to change, they had the power to give your kitchen a total new look on its own!

I leave you with this, the kitchen with the office space in the far end. They are now more in tune with each other. ;)

So, if you're still living with a dated kitchen and want to bring change to it, my recommendation for you is to go the painting route, if you don't mind a week of labor.

Prepare yourself with the right tools and products and give it a go. It's totally worth it!
