I am super excited to share with you all my new obsession and sanctuary… our DIY kitchen remodel. There is something about a new kitchen that gives a woman goose bumps all over, and butterflies in her belly. I cannot explain to you my love for this room… and the fact that I can now make dinner on a stove that isn’t covered in rust. (before pictures to come)
This DIY kitchen remodel was a lot of work, but also so much fun to completely transform a space into all of the things I love. I was able to choose everything for our family. From the backsplash, to the color of the grout. Every last detail was like adding our personality into our home. What a blast to design! I plan to have some posts very soon about the projects involved in this DIY kitchen remodel, and how you can do some of these things yourself. Such as, refinishing your own cabinets (which I did), building your own island (which I did). All possible to do on your own, and allow you to save BIG bucks!
Can I just talk to you for a second about my White Blanco Sink? I just love her and want to stare at her all day long. When we took out our peeling, yellow tinged sink and replaced it with this big beauty, it was like the best Christmas you can remember having as a kid. That good.
Also, creating enough seating to hold our family of four, has been so huge for us. We love sitting altogether here for breakfast, enjoying coffee and pancakes. It’s so special.
This is absolutely my new favorite corner of the house. Washing dishes 50 times a day has never been so enjoyable. Ha.
We love our DIY kitchen remodel. It doesn’t matter how small your space is, you can make it your own. Thank you for stopping by to see the kitchen reveal. Means a lot! More to come. (affiliate links below)

Hi, I love those barstools but the link isn’t working. Can you repost?
Thanks!

I will go now and try to fix it! Sorry for the late response!

Love your kitchen! Ours has a similar layout but I wanted to ask what the distance is between your fridge and island?
Kelly
Thank you!! I believe it’s around 3.5 feet away
Heather
What color do you have on your kitchen walls? We just had our kitchen cabinets painted white and looking for a good color to coordinate with the white cabinets.
Kelly
The color is Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore- mixed at 50% lighter.
Sandy
We made this island using yours as our inspiration! Almost the same color too. Wish I could post a pic!
Kelly
That is so great! I would love to see it. You can email if you like!
Tim
I see you took out the above the stove microwave
to put in the exhaust hood. Do you still use/have a microwave?
Kelly
The microwave is in the kitchen island!
