Contemporary Cottage Kitchen - Before and After

It's taken us a long time, but at long last our Contemporary Cottage Kitchen has gone from a plan to reality.  It's a bright, open space - leading to both the Living Room and the Dining Room.  A far cry from our starting point!

Remember this?  The bathroom was in the kitchen, the ceiling had water stains from burst heating pipes and the plastic 'tile' was falling off the wall.

Kitchen - Before

Now, the walls have been opened up, the family bath is upstairs and there is lots of counter space, seating and storage throughout the kitchen.  Don't you love the Martha Stewart cabinets?  The beadboard insets look amazing and the stainless pulls add a nice mix of contemporary with traditional.

Kitchen - After, but I wish I'd taken the drill of the counter before snapping the photo!

Kitchen - During

Here is a 'during' photo, showing the wall coming out between the living room and kitchen.








Now, the boarded up window is gone and both have been replaced with larger windows.  We have lots of lighting - recessed, pendants and under the counter task lights.

So what do you think?  Will someone fall in love with this kitchen?
