Monday's Makeover - My Southern Kitchen

Well, it is finally here!  I have a kitchen ...well 97% finished...we still have two walls of beadboard to put up but most of one wall is windows and a few pieces of molding.  We have purchased new light fixtures, as of tonight, for over the island and are moving the light fixture from over the island to over the kitchen table.  Mr. Fix-It will do that tomorrow.  We purchased 3 spot lights with 3 pendant lights to go on a track light fixture.  I was thrilled to finally find some pendant lights that complimented the warehouse light that I had originally picked out for over the island. When we remodeled the kitchen we moved the island a little and the light was no longer hanging in the right position so we opted for track lighting.  We also picked out a new faucet that I have been drooling over for a long time for the sink. l can't wait to get all the new touches added...I will add new photos as we add the new items.

I am so proud of the hard work that Mr. Fix-it has put into this kitchen.  He has done the whole renovation with a little help from me.  

Let's take a look back at where we started..  



and now we are here!!!!!
WELCOME TO MY KITCHEN!
I love it!!!










My kitchen is a little different than most.  I ordered only drawers in my bottom cabinets .

       







except for one corner where I had to put in a retractable lazy-susan.  
We stayed in log cabin years ago and I fell in love with the idea of all the drawers.  That way you don't loose things in the back of the lower cabinets.

I hope you have enjoyed the tour of my new kitchen.  Visit me often!

  4. Gorgeous! I have two big drawers I use for my pots so I can see why you'd want all drawers. I love how you incorporated the open shelving in.

  6. This really turned out beautifully. You can tell right away that lots of thought was put into all the details and planning. Beautiful counter-tops and all the acessories are great. You did a superior job. Incidently, I just redid my kitchen so I know first hand what a job it is and how many dicisions have to be made...but, my it is so much fun!

  19. Your kitchen looks great! I have chosen the same color style for my cabinet makeover! Love it! I was reading your other post about the pop of color. I like the red but nothing wrong with a little yellow thrown in here and there! They are both great colors so I can understand why you are having trouble deciding! I like the idea of using the things you have to see how you like it. Great job Mr. Fix it!!
