Holy smokes folks, the kitchen is COMPLETE! Well, we still have to decorate a bit, wait for the fridge and dishwasher to come but who the heck cares!! The space is usable, I have a new oven to cook in and I am over the moon to have a bit of normalcy back into our lives!
3 months ago, this was our kitchen…
And now…
Can you even wrap your head around the fact that that is the exact same space, no additional square feet added?? It is still wild to me! Alix Home Solutions did such an incredible job on this renovation! If you are local and looking to renovate a space big or small, I highly suggest calling them. Their entire team is dedicated, timely, and go above and beyond what is asked!
The lighting above the island is what sparked my inspiration for this entire space. I love a “traditional” feel with some funk added in – and these pendant lights are so fun and beautiful in person too! Wayfair has a never-ending assortment of lighting to sort through, by style, size, and color – you can truly find exactly what you are looking for!
These lights are the perfect option for a kitchen island if you are looking for lighting that does not hang low and will not obstruct your view. This was key for us! We put in a big beautiful window and the last thing we wanted was anything standing in its way!
And don’t even get me started on my love affair with my new runner(s). I ordered two because they are SO incredibly beautiful!! They are currently only $75 on sale from $200 – such a steal, and will not last long!
This space feels so bright and airy now, which is exactly what we were hoping for! I’ve had lots of questions pouring in about how we are managing without upper cabinets, and I’ll have an entire blog post dedicated to how we keep our kitchen organized and simple!
