So finally getting around to posting some pictures of our kitchen remodel. This little project happened between Oct 2009 and Jan 2010. It was three months of hard work but well worth it. There are a ton of pictures to post so I will open an album on Flickr once I upload them but in the meantime here is a before and after shot of the remodel.

BEFORE

Notice the lack of space between the counter and the top cabinets, there was not enough space for some of our appliances. The soffit between the cabinets and the ceiling moved the cabinets down and reduced the amount of space for appliances. The tall "L" shaped island removed a lot of space from the kitchen.

AFTER

The picture is a bit dark but the cabinetry is the same color as the previous post from the DWELL magazine. We have white Zodiaq counter tops and mostly stainless steel appliances. You can see the soffits were removed and that added space between the countertop and the top cabinets allowing us to use the blue glass tile for backsplash all the way up to the ceiling.

Stay tuned for more pictures and the step by step explanation of the remodel.

Our kitchen on Dwell magazine

Well, not really. I found this kitchen featured on the latest issue of Dwell magazine and there are components of the design that are very close to our kitchen. Of course unless you have seen it in person, you cant tell but don't worry, pictures are coming soon.
The elements that resemble our design are the white countertops, the honey brown cabinet color and the gray colored floors.

Revamping the blog

Ok so I have been busy these last few months and my computer has had a few problems so in order to get my blog going again, I will blog from my phone. The next few posts will be kitchen related but in the meantime I will leave you with this picture of beautiful Bella.
