From Oak to Over the Top!
There’s nothing I love more than wine, Ryan Gosling, Cornuts, making a small room look bold and beautiful and this wee kitchen satisfied in a BIG way. But here’s the deal – I only have 2 photos. However, this kitchen is so friggin’ gorgeous that I just HAD to share, even if all you get is a before and after – IT’S WORTH EVERY SECOND!
Before, it was functional and tidy, but no screamin’ glory. Orange-toned oak, pinkish granite and serviceable vinyl flooring…
After, FREAKIN’ HALLELUJAH!
I know, I wish there were more photos too, but that’s all I could pull together for you. Now, let’s chat about what they did…
- New lower cabinets painted Sherwin Williams Gauntlet Gray
- New upper cabinets painted Sherwin Williams Pure White
- New vinyl plank flooring
- White subway tile with 2 floating shelves
- White quartz countertop
- They took the undercabinet light and moved it higher to create more of a feature
- And NOTE that they filled in the space ABOVE the cabinets – mad love
And note the detail of the empty drawer space – genius! Just joking, it just wasn’t installed yet.
I KNOW, I wish there was more too! But that’s it today – just a quickie.

January 18, 2019 at 8:15 pmYou’ve touched a bit on “Double Cathedral” cabinets before. Do you think that painting just the center panel, or just the outside area, might make the cathedral affect look novel instead of “trying to be up-to-date” and failing? Mine are paler kind of yellowish honey and thought White Dove would be good.

January 19, 2019 at 5:50 pmHi Sue! If it were me, I wouldn’t – I think it would only highlight the feature and while it would make it unique…I can’t say that it would be a GOOD unique. I’d be inclined to keep it all the same 🙂

January 19, 2019 at 1:16 pmI LOVE the clean look of white upper & gray lower cabinets …with white quartz countertops. But I’m wondering if we are near the end of the gray & white era? I would like my refinished kitchen to be in style for the next 15yrs 🙂

March 1, 2019 at 9:34 amI like the light placement over the sink. My sink in our upcoming retirement home faces a wall (with windows to the side). I think I want to leave it there, but it needs something above it. This idea with shelves and light might just fix it!

April 6, 2019 at 2:01 pmDo you know the wall color paint in this kitchen makeover? I can’t tell if it is a gray shade or a bone/almond/tan family?

April 7, 2019 at 4:40 pmOooo, I don’t quite remember, but I’m going to say BM Collingwood or perhaps SW Agreeable Gray…
