House Tour: Kitchen

Today I am sharing one of my favorite spaces in our home, the kitchen!

When we first looked at this house, this kitchen was NOTHING that I wanted. I wanted white cabinets. I wanted a big island in the middle, with light countertops. I wanted a HUGE kitchen that was great for entertaining. 

But for whatever reason, when we walked into this house, I just really loved the kitchen. I had actually written this house off at first because of the brown cabinets. My mom convinced me to at least go look at it. I am so glad we did because we love our home.

I still love white cabinets. I think eventually we will end up putting white cabinets in here, but since C ended up talking me out of painting them, I knew I needed to add white, somewhere. So we installed the large white subway tile backsplash (only took us a day!) and it made a huge difference in our kitchen. Then I decided to change out the cabinet hardware (I will share more about that tomorrow!) and now I really really love how it all has come together. 

As far as not getting my dream Island, I compromised since we did get the bar seating area. And since the kitchen itself is wide, I was totally ok with the galley style. I also love that the kitchen opens up to the dining and living room for an open concept look! 

                

                 

Just a little side note on brown cabinets. If you are trying to decide between lighter color cabinets vs. darker color, don't let the fact that white shows everything deter you. BROWN SHOWS JUST AS MUCH. It is so hard to keep these cabinets clean and it drives me crazy!

Tomorrow I will be sharing what we chose to update our cabinet hardware with!
