I loved how my kitchen looked all decorated for Christmas, so I finally got around to taking pics of it since we remodeled it. To remind you, here it what it looked like after we moved in...
and here it is now. We replaced everything--the cabinets, countertops, floor, backsplash and all the appliances. Adam and I did all the demo and tiled the floor and backsplash. We closed the window on the back wall so we could add cabinets, a countertop and some open shelving. It's so much more functional now and it still gets plenty of light from other windows!

One of my favorite features is the open shelving. I love the focal point they bring to our small kitchen and it's a great place to display some cute things. And it sure makes it easy for me to unload the dishwasher!

and After. One of my must-haves was a farmhouse sink. I love the casual vibe and that I can fit lots of dirty dishes in it!

and After. It's hard to see from the before pic but we added more cabinets here (it was just a pony wall before) and lowered the countertop to one height (it was choppy with the pony wall being at bar height).
love the little Christmas touches of tinsel garland, pinecones, and vintage ornaments!

So that's our updated kitchen! I love how light and bright it is and that we added more cabinets (it was really lacking storage) and more countertops. I think we really maximized the small space and made it work so much better for us!
