Kitchen Reveal
If you follow me on instagram, you may have already seen a little sneak peek of the kitchen redo I did here in the apartment.
When I moved into the apartment, the kitchen looked like this:
There's absolutely nothing wrong with it, it's just not "pretty". The cabinets, the counters, even the appliances are all new ... but this kitchen still needed a little something extra. There was no way I could paint the cabinets, but it became clear to me that the this tiny little kitchen would be much brighter, and appear more open, if these dark cabinets were gone.
So, one day, without permission, and a lot of brute strength, I pulled the upper cabinets down. I know right!"!"! The wall behind the cabinets required a ton of repair, but after patching and sanding and painting, the kitchen looked more open and spacious than before. I built the shelves and installed them on the corbels (purchased at Lowes) and painted everything out in the wall color (SW Dover White).
The next step was changing out the sad plastic mini blinds, and ho-hum light fixture. This roman shade was actually a DIY project by me! I still can't believe I made that thing! I found the pendant on clearance at Lowes, and installed it over the sink.
You can see that I hid the lower cabinets with this linen skirt, sheered onto tension rods which were held onto the cabinets with cup hooks.
I got the rug at an auction, it's a Russian Bukhara rug - and those things are practically indestructibl...
