I am sooo excited to be sharing my kitchen design board with you today! I’ve also been busy designing some fun printables for my new light and bright kitchen and I’ll be sharing those with you along the one. You’ll find out how to get the first one at the end of this post.

kitchen remodel ideas

Like I mentioned in my bathroom remodel post, I have been planning and pinning and researching for quite some time and we finally started the demo last week. I have been waiting for this day for a long time, but it’s still quite bittersweet. I know that my grandmother loved her kitchen and I have so many memories baking and cooking with her, and just hanging out with our family when I was younger. But it’s time for an update. I mean, look at those cabinets!

After moving into the house six years ago, I made a few changes to try and update a little by removing the built-in table and adding porcelain tile floors. Here’s what it looks like today:

I decided these photos didn’t need a watermark, ya know? But that hashtag is one you can find on Instagram and Twitter, and you can follow our progress and see sneak peeks there.

Typical 1960s cabinets, right? The first photo is what the house looked like when we moved in, and the second image is sort of what it looks like now.

I love white kitchens, and there is inspiration all over the place. Just check out my kitchen board on Pinterest and you’ll see tons of stunning images. Here is the one I chose as my inspiration:

I know that my grandma would be so excited for me to be making these changes, even if she wouldn’t have made them herself. I have a few elements of hers that I am keeping so she will always be a part of it, and it will be fun to see it all come together.

What do you think? Do you love it? Hate it? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

  1. Hi Kristin,

    I love your kitchen! We are thinking of doing something similar but are getting varying reports from remodeling companies. How many inches do you have between the island and counter/frig?

  2. Love your kitchen! My bf and I doing something very similar to an empty space he has in his house where we are relocating his kitchen to. Would you mind letting me know what the dimensions of the “L” shape of the kitchen is to give me a bit of perspective on our space? Great work!

  3. Wow that table in the first pic is awesome! Looks like an RV! You’re going to make it look amazing! Can’t wait to see!! XO
