Kitchen Inspiration and the Start of a Makeover

 

Hi Everyone,

Today is my continuation of my Mini Kitchen makeover.   I am getting a ton of fun ideas on how to up do my kitchen without spending a lot of money or making major changes that would take forever.  I figured the best way to do this is in baby steps.  As much as I would love a major overhaul of the kitchen, oh how wonderful would that be?   I thought I would work from area to area.  Back in January, we started with one section of the kitchen, and that was the refrigerator.  I was in desperate need of a new one, since the shelves were falling out, the water line was leaking and ruining the floors and it’s just plain ugly, so as my Christmas present my Husband bought me a nice shiny silver refrigerator.  But it wasn’t as easy as an install as you would think.  My Husband wanted to move the refrigerator to a new spot, which is where my pantry is.  Here is my kitchen before (Don’t mind the mess, when I took these I wasn’t planning on sharing).  See the pantry on the right (where Samantha is standing), that is where the refrigerator is going to go.

My Husband moved out the old refrigerator and put shelves from the garage temporally in it’s place to hold the pantry items until he finishes the kitchen.  8 months later and the shelves are still there.  sigh….  I didn’t mind losing the pantry, since it didn’t hold much!  The pantry wasn’t even deep enough to hold a box of cereal.   I guess my black strap molasses leaked and so did my flour.  Sorry for the not so pretty pictures.

My Husband, the handy man that he is, decided instead of buying cupboards, he would build them himself.  This took quite a while, but he did it.  This is what the old pantry area looks like now.  Much better!!!

Now that we finished one little section of the kitchen, we are working our way over to the next, which is the sink area.  My faucet as you may know from this post, doesn’t work very well.  It doesn’t turn, it’s ugly and it doesn’t get very hot water out of it, do to the fact that it doesn’t turn all the way to the hot side.  Here is my ugly faucet.

Isn’t it ugly?  Here is another picture so you get the whole idea.  It took some major muscles to move it to this position.

As you may know I recently just received my new Delta faucet in the mail this past week.  I got the Cassidy Single Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet with Touch2O® Technology. Oh my gosh it’s so big, shiny and pretty!  I am patiently waiting for my Husband to install it.  I have to keep bugging him.  You really have no idea how much I have to bug him.  I would hire someone, but he insists on doing it himself.

I have been getting lots of ideas of how I am going to makeover my sink area of the kitchen, that I started an Inspired Living Board on Pintrest.  The kitchens, faucets and designs are just gorgeous!  Honestly I would love, love, love a white kitchen with gray counter tops and shiny new appliances and a gorgeous, big faucet to make my life easier and cleaner in the kitchen.   This is one of the kitchens I just LOVE!!!

But my Husband on the other hand refuses white cabinets, and he said with two dirty dogs, it won’t stay clean.  So we went for dark cabinets.  Eventually we will be making over the floor, since  laminate flooring is not great in a kitchen, maybe a new back-splash and definitely a new pantry since I don’t want ugly green shelves in my kitchen.  Sorry it’s too embarrassing to show you the pictures.  But as for right now, our next step is the sink makeover.  Hmm, I wonder if I could talk him into a new sink to go with my new Delta faucet?  Here is the area that I am working on next.  So hopefully my next post about my makeover, there will be with a new Delta Faucet Cassidy Single Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet with Touch2O® Technology installed? Plus maybe some curtains??

Have a great week everyone!
