Hey guys!!! We spent most of 2018 renovating/adding onto our home and I shared a lot of the process on Instagram stories. To say I felt stressed during this time is an understatement. I spent MANY nights lying awake in bed redoing the layout of certain rooms in my head or figuring out if we could afford to add in things that would put us over budget. Of all the rooms in the house I think the most thought goes into a kitchen renovation. Today I’m partnering with Showcase Kitchens (in Canton, CT) to share my experience and my number one tip if you’re looking to renovate your kitchen in the near future. My #1 Kitchen Renovation Tip So I’ll cut to the chase – HIRE HELP with the design.

One of the most stressful days of our kitchen renovation was when half of our kitchen was torn out and the contractor was asking me where I was placing the island so […]

Our mini kitchen makeover is finally complete! This makeover is by no means one of those jaw dropping before & afters, where you can hardly recognize the original space. However, we think the changes we made make a huge difference overall! To recap: our whole plan was to update our kitchen without having to paint the cabinets - not only are they newer & in good condition, we didn't feel like taking on the extra task of painting the cabinets since we plan on moving eventually anyway. In other words, we weren't concerned with getting our 'dream kitchen' at this point. To achieve our goal, we updated the counters with Frosty Carrina quartz, replaced the backsplash with white ceramic subway tile, & made some other minor updates (you can read more on those details in these prior posts: ordered countertops, picked out a sink & faucet, demoed our existing backsplash & counters, installed Frosty Carrina quartz & sink, installed installed our faucet & drywall, installed backsplash, grouted backsplash, new pendant light & finishing touches). So here's what the kitchen looked like when we moved in back in 2008: It wasn't awful by any means, just not our current style. It's funny how tastes can change, because we initially thought this kitchen was pretty nice (particularly in comparison with our former apartment kitchen). Even though we always planned on upgrading the laminate countertops, we actually liked the travertine backsplash originally. However, over the last few years we've made some minor changes in our home (painted, updated some lighting, & added some decor/furniture) and, eventually, the stone backsplash didn't really jive with the style of the rest of our house. Here's what the kitchen looked like in January (before we started demo): And here's what our updated kitchen looks like now! The countertops read as solid bright white in photos, but in person they are a softer white with grey veining (we think it's a great alternative to marble). Here are some close-ups of the Frosty Carrina quartz by Caesarstone: One of the best decisions we made was going with the larger single bowl sink & new faucet. We seriously love the sink area now: This is our 'coffee area' - where we keep our Keurig machine & Vue packs: Before & Afters: The first thing we made in our new kitchen was some lemon poppy seed bread! We think this mini makeover demonstrates that you can update your kitchen without having to paint your cabinets!
