Our Before and After Kitchen Renovation
If you’ve been following my House Renovation series or my updates on Instagram, you’ll know our project took almost three months and included gutting the entire house! But since we all know the kitchen is the heart of the home, I thought I’d share some of our before and afters and how we took a perfectly good kitchen and turned it into my dream gourmet kitchen, and one of the best features in our home.
Here’s how we did it…
- We knocked down part of the wall to open up to space. Now, you can see directly into the living room and have views of our spiral staircase from the kitchen. This alone completely opened up the space and made the kitchen feel much larger.
- Removed all soffits and raised the ceiling.
- Installed completely new cabinets that went all the way up to the new ceiling height, making the kitchen feel larger.
4. Extended the kitchen vertically.
5. Extended the L-shape countertop to meet the new kitchen length.
And that, my friends, is how you can completely transform your kitchen. Just a few walls to knock down, new cabinets and appliances do the trick.

I know this post is pretty old, but I was wondering if you hired someone for the cabinets and/or where did you get them? Thanks! It’s GORGEOUS!!
Hi Marie,
Thanks for the comment. The cabinets are “Copenhagen” you can find them here: http://www.midcontinentcabinetry.com/style/display.php?id=26
What back splash and counter tops did you use?
Hi Amber, these are quartz countertops. They are either this one: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Silestone-2-in-Quartz-Countertop-Sample-in-Marengo-SS-Q0200/203674449?N=5yc1vZc3boZ1z0u6mr or the grey. The backsplash is also from Home Depot!
Wow. Just wow. It’s absolutely gorgeous!! Seriously, one of my favorite kitchens I’ve ever “seen!”
Wow your husband must be an epic genius with a hammer.
