FINALLY, the kitchen is done!
* Let's recap...
* Before the kitchen remodel
* After the kitchen remodel
And finally ~
After the installation of the cabinet/drawer pulls.
After the installation of the barn lights. Love em!
After we finally found the new bar stools.
After we decorated ~ my favorite part.
We bought our BERÖM handles at IKEA months before I would commit to the actual installation. I would spend hours pouring over hundreds of handles but always came back to these. So with fear & trepidation, we took a chance and I have had no regrets. I love the clean, simple, brushed nickel design. It was important that the handles not upstage my classic cherry cabinets. And they happen to match my Ladylux Grohe faucet. Ya gotta love it.
* Our dream kitchen plans
* Our dream kitchen come true
We found the bar stools by accident at Target. I was showing my husband the stools I wanted, that were terribly uncomfortable but cute, when he noticed these for $24.99. I am serious, the most comfortable, sturdy stools I have ever sat on! And I love the steel frame that matches the steel rack we recently installed. Gotta love my practical and cute husband!
* Before the handles, lighting, stools and such.
* After!
We're finally done! And SOOO very happy!

Wow, why the refrigerator move from one side to the other? Seems like added expense, but there must have been a reason. Looks wonderful. The stools are perfect.
ReplyDeleteSo, so pretty. It really is a dream kitchen.
