Well, that was a race to the finish.
I was literally finishing up back splash last night.
A huge thank you to Linda for including me in this incredible line up of talented ladies.
I hope I get invited back again 🙂
Today I am just going to show you a whole ton of photos of my finished kitchen and then tomorrow I will give you all the sources, paint colors, etc.
If you would like to see what the room started out as, click here.
The kitchen is the first room you step into off the front porch.
So welcome, come on in!
It is so much lighter and brighter, it’s like a breath of fresh air.
This room is pretty big, about 16×16, and functions not only as our kitchen but also as a little home office~or blogging corner.
New color on the bar stools and new cushions:

New color on the bar stools and new cushions:
New pendant lights, gas cook top, and roman shades:
Brand new counter tops and back splash~can’t go wrong with marble:
Roman shades for this window as well, and new vintage looking sconces on either side of the sink:
New runner……
And a soft grey/green on the island to match the pantry doors.
New oven…..
and sweet smelling lilacs.
A $3.00 vintage dough bowl on the coolest new pedestal wood thing 🙂
Beveled marble subway tiles and a thrifted bowl.
Favorite family photos framed in barn wood, and schumacher wallpaper
I have been dreaming about for ages.
The “office” area got more cabinets and marble….
It functions so much better now!
This little niche turned into a tiny baking center.
Right next to the pantry it is pretty handy.
I probably overdid it on the pictures.
I tend to do that.
I will be back tomorrow with all the details, so if you have any specific
questions feel free to ask in the comment section!
Thank you all for following along!

Everything is just gorgeous!!! Would love to know sources of your lighting!! And the runner too!
Hello lovely wallpaper! The whole kitchen came together lovely. I can't wait to see the resources. That gray-green color is beautiful!
Gorgeous!! Great job, Melaine! I gotta know where that runner is from…I need one for my kitchen 🙂
Melanie- first off, that skylight above the island is everything!!! Love how you played up the natural light by bathing the space in monochromatic hues…the grey feels so warm and intimate when it can easily borderline bland and cold. That gingham barstools are just darling! Very french country against a super mod backdrop- LOVE!

Peace! Love! LOL!

Holy kitchen heaven….sorry it took me so long…I had too many appointments today! But I am in love with this gorgeous kitchen. The marble…swoon…I want so badly and now that I think of it probably could have had with the $$ I spent on the DR. I love how calm the space is and the Schumacher wallpaper….well of course it is killer! Good job girl!
It is so beautiful. Congratulations! That Chenonceau wallpaper is to. die. for. Excellent job. What a stunning kitchen!!!
oh my goodness! i can't believe how much you accomplished in 6 weeks. the kitchen is so inviting and lovely—i just want to kick off my shoes, come inside and site at that island. LOVE.
Melaine!!! wow…well done! oxxo
Melanie, it's absolutely stunning! So much lighter and brighter…I love it! Your baking nook and the way you "rigged" your new pendants are my favorite elements. Oh, and the marble, can't forget that!
Wow, the palette is to die for. And this kitchen is so perfectly you! I love it! I love how you paid attention to every detail!
Melaine! This is GORGEOUS!!!!! I know you worked so so hard on those cabinets, and it was worth every effort. Your kitchen is beautiful, timeless, elegant, casual and sophisticated all at once. I love every single element and detail. Spectacular!!
LOVE the makeover. I'm in the midst of a kitchen facelift myself . I'm very interested in the cabinet painting details (I'm on my second go as well…). Did you brush, roll or spray? Great job!
This looks so pretty! I love your little baking corner!! Well done!
All of your hard work paid off! Congratulations on such a stunning kitchen – I especially adore your baking nook with that gorgeous wallpaper. Great job!
The backsplash, those sconces, the pendants – I love it all! You're right – just a (beautiful) breath of fresh air!
Gorgeous. May I please move into the nook? And leave the espresso machine with me too. I love it all. Bravo.
Melanie- Where can I start? STUNNING all the way, every detail is amazing and it just flows and is so well utilized and bright and just nothing short of fabulous! You rocked it woman! I want to sit in that kitchen with you and just chat over coffee!
Oh my gosh- What a gorgeous space. I would spend all of my time in here. Probably baking in that baking nook because of the wallpaper. 😉 I'm so excited for you to have the marble counters you've wanted for so long. YAY! Everything looks top notch. After all that hard work, now you can just enjoy it. xx
Simply beautiful!! I have a question-are the sconces on the sides of the sink hard wired into the cabinets or are they somehow plugged in? Love those!!
It looks absolutely AMAZING Melaine!!!!
It’s been over 10 months since I’ve remodeled my kitchen and the compliments received from my family and friends just keep coming. I hired the team at Classic Kitchen and Bath in Illinois because they are a family business and have been around for as long as I can remember. Remodeling can be quite a hassle but these guys made the process much simpler for me. It was a great experience working with the team at CKB- a company that prides itself on quality workmanship, timeliness, and customer service. Visit their website today http://www.myclassickitchenandbath.com or call 630-515-9151. I highly recommend them to anyone considering a new kitchen or bathroom.
Wow!!! So gorgeous! The wallpaper, the marble, that island light fixture (!!!), the sconces! I can not believe what you got done in 6 weeks and how absolutely gorgeous it is! Well done!
