The New House: The Kitchen Reveal

So we are finally done with the kitchen and it turned out exactly how we wanted. I won't belabor you with a bunch of words - I know you just want to see the before and after!

Demo progress - there was a bank of cabinets on that yellow wall but I forgot to take a before photo. They were ugly - that's all you need to know ;)

It makes me want to dance it's so pretty!

Look at that subway tile! Swoon!

An island of all deep drawers and a "hidden" microwave!

And now some of the details that make this place so special to me:

Ever since I saw this concept in a magazine I have wanted a few open shelves. I love this feature!

My favorite sink - the farmhouse from Ikea (same as our last house but this one I didn't find in the "As Is" section!)

I mean, come on!!!! Look at that gorgeous old wood. I love how rough it is, especially down the legs of the island. 

And the grain of this wood?!?! It's so beautiful.

And cause this is my blog and I'll post too many pictures if I want to (wink, wink) here are some more:

Took these with my fisheye lens. My house doesn't bend like that! 

Maybe I’m biased but I think I have one of the prettiest kitchens I’ve ever seen. I'm in love!

And for those interested in all the details, I have a post just for you tomorrow!
