The Kitchen- Before and After

Our largest house project we completed this summer was to makeover our kitchen
and dining room area. We removed lots of super ugly wall paper and removed the carpeted plastic slatted blinds. We painted, added wainscoting in the dining area, got new curtains and blinds, and added some art to the walls. We need to send a big thank you out to my Dad for all of his tools and help and to my Mom for helping to watch Sophia while we worked so thank you!

Here are the before pictures: ( I am not sure why they are different sizes...)




The lovely border







The wall paper around the dining room area (this wall paper was such a pain to remove, luckily most of it we could cover with the wainscoting).







The slatted carpet covered blinds on the back door- yuck!



The slatted blinds on the window.








And now for the after! I took these pics with my phone so they aren't the best quality, but they will do the job:




Dining room with new curtains on the back doors and new blinds on the window!



No border and new paint!




Wainscoting and new ceiling fan/light!




Curtains open!




Curtains closed!





The archway.





More kitchen paint :)




Art on the wall.


This has been my most favorite update to our house we have done so far. Before the kitchen wasn't our style at all, but now it feels just right. It is a calm, welcoming, comfortable space where I know we will create lots of memories in the years to come!
