| My goal was for my kitchen to welcome people! I love the colour! |
Well, it is
Finally done! Or, as done as it is going to be for awhile. There are some finishing touches that I will add over time, but for now my kitchen is done & I'm loving it! I took the time to declutter, delete things I wasn't using and to really organize all the cabinets. You can click on this
Link to peek if you want to see some before shots. I will be adding more before shots with information on what I did. If you want to look more closely at the photos just click on them.
Everyday I walk into my kitchen and feel
Happy! The colour of my cupboards makes me smile everytime I look at them! I love the wall colour...I was really going for that clean swedish look yet still be cosy! Our house sits on a heavily treed lot and is a challenge to me when it comes to choosing colour! But thankfully, I am happy with the results! The colour is Timothy Straw by Benjamin Moore & I used their Aura Paint with no fumes.

| Even on the dullest days in November my kitchen is still cheerful! |
 |
| For a galley kitchen it is very spacious! |
 |
| Okay, I realize my fridge looks messy...but beside it to the left is an area for your laptop and more open shelving. |
You can't really see it, but we added beadboard as a back splash. Very inexpensive & pretty! I used melamine paint for the beadboard and months later, and many scrubs behind the stove it is still looking new!

| I love my beadboard which I know is hard to see. In my next post, I will show more before & after shots. |
 |
| I love my floating shelves! I bought them at Mardens for $10 each and only had to paint them white. They hold my new everyday dishes perfectly. The white glass cabinet is a work in progress. The inside is mactacked & I need to paint over it. Vintage 1970! |
I love my new yellow cabinet that I bought for $5 at a yard sale. It is a hospital bedside table which I painted. The Ikea shelves above I purchased on Kijiji for $20
We added new countertops & the microwave above the stove.

| This cupboard is one my brother in-law Paul built for me many years ago. I didn't want to paint it as it had aged to a beautiful honey pine. But it didn't look so good anymore in my new kitchen so I painted it this lovely yellow...which was actually a colour I had chosen for my cupboards but then changed my mind. |

This dining set was given to us by my mother inlaw. However, we hope to paint it at some point as the top isn't in such great shape. I had worried it would look to old & dark, but I actually like it! I love my vintage tablecloth. I've had it for years and only bring it out for Thanksgiving. So, I am enjoying using it on this table.
Oh...& a big thank you to my friend Heidi who took the photos for me! She is a great photographer and has a beautiful camera! All my pictures were dull looking with my cheap camera! So Thank you!
