We call it "Garage Sale Chic" lol
I can't really say that these are FKB-worthy yet and these are WHOLLY unstaged and informal - I just started snapping, thus real life mess everywhere! But since they officially finished yesterday (bar a few tiny details) and you have all been so kind in following my progress that I feel like maybe it's time to get over my shyness in the light of some of the amazing gorgeousness I see on here and unveil things a little. It's not one of the grandest kitchens that have ever been seen in these here parts (goodness, I think some of you had "before" kitchens that were more impressive than this "after"!), but we did a lot for a little, and are thrilled with how it lives and works for us. So, without further apology or ado ::drumroll::
(Materials etc listed below pictures)
Here's what we started with:
From same vantage point (the passthru was approximately where that bottle of water is):
(look carefully under the table!)
Towards stairs (after work had started -where that door is in this picture is where the banister attaches to the wall, below! Yes, the old stairs were THAT steep):
workspace corner:
Pantry
Sink
