Little Kitchen Reno

Gosh guys! I have been so excited to share all about my little kitchen. It’s crazy because I have spent countless hours in this kitchen my entire life and now it looks totally different.

So for those of you that didn’t know… the kids and I have now lived in my grandparents old place for almost a year now! It’s crazy to me how fast this past year has flown by…. even during a pandemic. We are blessed and so thankful to be here and we’re slowly changing it to the place that feels even more like home to us!

Let’s start with some before and after photos of what I did to the kitchen! Below I will attach some links for you all to shop the items that I love and that helped me with this project.

This was the kitchen soon after we moved in before any projects!

I knew those dark cabinets had to go, along with the dark wood paneling on the bottom half of the walls. If there’s any tip I can give you when you are working in a small space is to go with lighter colors. Going with lighter colors will always make your space look double the size once you are finished.

First things first…. Painting all the walls white, including that awful paneling.

After the walls were done I started on the cabinets. I decided to paint the bottom cabinets a muted light grey with the top cabinets white. I did this mainly because this kitchen is so small and there’s not many other design options I could get creative with!

At first I was only going to open up one set of the cabinets and try to work in a fun “pantry” space in my laundry room…. That didn’t work out as planned. So now I have opened up both sides of the cabinets and I am in love with how the other side turned out.

Now… the fun part! All the links to everything you need to accomplish a look inspirited by this one! I need to add that most of the decorations are old items I’ve collected! So by all means, if you have items close to these already… use them!!!
