Hi gang. After about 9 years I finally re-did my kitchen. It was a long and drawn out process for two reasons. 1) The amount of CRAP you collect in nine years and 2) I repainted in red. Primer, two coats, etc… When we originally moved in we just threw a coat of paint, stenciled some ivy leaves and called it a day. I decorated here and there but because it was done in pieces it never really went together. I decided I wanted (what I call) sophistocated country…a more mature and elegant country.
So here are the before and afters. In the befores please excuse the mess. I had to unload everything and do one section of the kitchen at a time so we still had function.
The stove area (two befores). Ignore the mess.

The wine cabinet section before (my husband made it!)

After. I included the top of the fridge which is right next to the cabinet.

The window area…yes, I love rabbits

Oh, and our friend’s plum tree exploded. One is a five gallon tub and the other is a four gallon tub. Thank the gods my husband makes mead.
