Kitchen Inspiration and the Start of a Makeover

August 19, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 23 Comments

Glam

 

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.

Kitchen


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.

Old Pantry

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!!!

Refridgerator Makeover

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.

My 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.

My faucet

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.

The Cassidy Faucet

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!!!

Pintrest Kitchen

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??

My Kitchen

If your into looking at beautiful kitchens, wanting ideas, I highly recommend checking out my Inspired Living Pinterst Page.  I am updating it all of the time with new, fun kitchen ideas!

Pintrest Page

On my Pintrest Page, you have to tell my which kitchen design is your favorite?  Is there a dream kitchen you have always wanted? Do tell, I am always looking for more ideas or ones that make me dream.  If your not sure what kind style you have, check out my last post on finding your Kitchen Style, it’s a fun quiz!

Delta Faucet isn’t just faucets, but great ideas for kitchen and bath!  I was really surprised by what I found on there pages.  Lots a of great ideas!!  Well my Friends I am off to look for more ideas and maybe buy some curtains for my sink area of the kitchen, plus bug, bug, bug the Husband to install my new Delta Faucet!  Hmmm, maybe if I pretend I am going to do it myself, he will say no, no way you can’t do it, and then he will?  he he I call that reverse psychology.  I bet it would work.  🙂  I guess we will find out!

Have a great week everyone!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    I like your bit at a time approach – I was without a kitchen for a couple weeks while we did ours and that is HARD! I have to bug bug bug my hubby too for things like that – and he used to be a plumber! I threaten to hire a different plumber if he doesn’t get on it 🙂

    Jennifer, your husband was very wise to move the refrigerator. Having it next to the stove is not a very bright design. (If you close in the pantry I would make sure that the wall next to the stove is insulated, too.) I’m curious what you are thinking about for flooring. We have a laminate floor which might be nice except for the fact that two weeks after our new kitchen was finished, we had a really bad freeze and ended up with a broken hot water line that ruined the floor. My other issue with laminate is that it does not stand up well to scooting chairs around on it, which my husband does all the time. I would probably like tile, but we both drop things periodically, and that is hard on both the tile and whatever is dropped on it. So if you have some good ideas I’d love to hear about them.

      Hi Susan! We have been looking at flooring and as much as it scares me, I think we are going to go with tile. I will just be sure to have a throw rug on the floor and a mat where I stand. Laminate is nice, but it doesn’t hold up to water well, as you already know. Between my dogs drinking out of there water bowl and our refrigerator leak, laminate is just not working for us.

      My Husband said the same thing about the placement of the refrigerator, that’s why he moved it. I don’t know who comes up with these bright ideas on some kitchen designs.

    Your pictures look terrific. Don’t know about you but patience is not my strong suit, especially when it comes to my kitchen! My brother in law did mine last year & did a wonderful job. Then just lately made a trip to ikea & picked up a multitude of smaller wall shelves & lights, so I have a lot more storage for spices & large jars. However, please post updates as we are all rootin’ for your new kitchen — Good Luck!!!

    Between the SousPug and the EvilMinx – it’s a dark cabinet for me hopefully (when I do finally purchase a home). Now I rent so the cupboards are not as gorg. to look at and organizationally – well, let’s just say my pantry has seen better days. I LOVE what he built for the fridge 🙂

    Gahhhh – molasses ALWAYS leaks! Whoever can invent a leak/drip-free molasses jar should win the Noble Prize.

    I’m loving the do-able updates you’re making to your kitchen. Looks great! Always nice to freshen things up a little.

Hi Everyone! The weather is starting to warm up h Hi Everyone!  The weather is starting to warm up here and I have Spring fever!  #sponsored I’ve been working in the garden beds, planting annuals and enjoying some fresh air and sunshine.
🌸
I freshened up my gorgeous patio set that I got from @rstbrands. I dressed up my table by adding some Ranunculus and a cute little bunny to a tray. Doesn’t scream Spring?
🌸
I also added some throw pillows and a cute blanket to keep you warm on a chilly evening. The Yuri 4 piece patio set is made out of certified eucalyptus wood has held up so beautifully with the heavy rains and winds.
🌸
I love the shade of blue of the cushions, it reminds me of the sunny blue skies. The cushions are also so comfortable to sit on. The best part is that the covers have zippers on them so you can take the covers off and wash them.
🌸
Spring fever is hitting me hard this year and I can’t wait to enjoy the great outdoors.
🌸
Do you get Spring fever?

Happy Thursday! I am a day ahead of myself this w Happy Thursday!  I am a day ahead of myself this week. I thought yesterday was Thursday and I was excited because I thought today was Friday. I knew what day of the week it was, but my brain didn’t get it. Does that ever happen to you?

I’m sharing with you my new dog bone container that I got from @outshine_co. Oh my gosh Sampson loves it! Mom, move out of the way, I’m taking over!!
🐶
Hi all! This is Sammy here! I just have to tell you my Mom now has no excuse not to have bones in the house anymore. This beautiful container hold 5 boxes of my favorite Trader Joe’s bones. My Mom also needs to know that carrots, celery or a piece of lettuce doesn’t cut it! Bones is what I must have!
🐶
The container is made of a nice heavy coated carbon steel and holds 12lbs or 54 cups of dog food and bones. 🤩Yes thank you! That is what I’m taking about. The only thing is, the lid is so well fitted and airtight that I can’t get my paws in it. What’s up with that? Not fair! I need access to bones at all times.
🐶
My Mom loves the container too because it looks pretty on her counter and even comes with a sticker that she can write my name on. I absolutely love this container! Thank you Outshine Co. for sending this to me, I mean my Mom.
🐶
Thank your for letting me take over! I miss and love you guys!  Love Sampson!

Happy Wednesday! Half way through the week. I’m Happy Wednesday!  Half way through the week. I’m sharing with you, possibly my last look of my living room in it’s winter decor. I am so ready to add some color.
🪴
Depending on what is going on this weekend, I hoping to go to Homegoods for maybe a new blanket and some pillows. The only thing what color? I’m almost gravitating towards pink?
🪴
Though, yellow may look nice with the green plants. However, I do have so many pillows. Maybe I should look for pillow covers? Less storage. Pillows take up so much room. Oh the decisions.
🪴
I’ve seen some of you share pillow covers from Hobby Lobby. I’ve never seen them at my store, but I’ll do a search when I’m there? I guess that means I’m hitting up Hobby Lobby too. 😂
🪴
Instead of my daily question, I just want to wish and hope everyone is safe with this crazy weather.

🐰
Now that Valentines is over, it’s officially time for spring, at least in my mind. The weather may say otherwise, but I’ve been craving spring colors in my home. I went pretty neutral in my living room for winter, but I think I’m going to add some pastels. Now what color to add?
🐰
Last year if you followed me, I spent months trying to decide on what color to use. Ugh, I think I’m in the same boat again this year. I like yellows because it’s a happy color, but I also like pinks and blues. Oh the decisions.
🐰
I haven’t seem to much inspiration in the stores, though Target seems to have yellows and corals, plus a lot of neutrals. I’m seeing a lot of boho and woods. I do like woods with greenery.
🐰
What color doing you like to use in your home for Spring?

Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bi Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bit of rough day in my house. Woke up to see my sweet Sampson wasn’t feeling well.  He was just laying around, didn’t get up to greet me, and the biggest sign was he didn’t ask for a bone. You know how he’s obsessed with bones.
🐶
Around 9am he perked up and asked for a bone and wanted to go outside to snoop around. He seems to be better, but is still kind of laying around. I just hope he will be okay. He’s 11, and I get so worried. He’s my child.
🐶
I’m sharing with you my pretty tulips from Trader Joe’s. They have such a great selection of tulips in array of colors. Though I didn’t see any roses, which is strange. We do not have any plans for the weekend, that I know of, but we have the tendency to wing it.  I’ll keep you posted. Hope you have a wonderful Valentines weekend!

Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most likely be heading to Trader Joe’s and I have to get my husband a Valentines gift. I would get him his favorite, chocolate, but he bought himself a ton of chocolate last weekend, so I’ll have to think of something else. Maybe he’ll like flowers from Trader Joe’s? Lol
🌸
Speaking of flowers, check out my new, gorgeous marble and wood cutting board that I got from my friend Brantley from @thesassyoak. I love the engraved flowers in it. It is so pretty.
🌸
The cutting board is her newest item at her Etsy shop. She engraves different items, like your name, but for me it is flowers. I’ll always keep the cutting board displayed. I think it is far to pretty to use. I’m afraid someone would scratch it.
🌸
Do you use cutting boards or just use them as display?

That means I get to go shopping for some new pieces to add to the bathroom. I am on the search for is some new open shelves to go above the toilet. If you have any suggestions on where to get some, let me know.

I wasn’t going to, but I decided to do a small Valentines table setting. I couldn’t resist the small white plates with the little red heart in the middle that I got from @williamssonoma. It was the first thing I bought after my no home decor buying for 30 days.
❤️
I love the simplicity of the table. It’s a small space, so I do not like to go to overboard on the decor. I added a little gift of candy hearts to bring together the reds and of course to eat.
❤️
Do you have any special plans for Valentines Day?

Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! This weekend I clea Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! This weekend I cleaned my kitchen sink area. It was filling up with daffodils and tulips and my husband said he feels like he’s in a greenhouse. I said they are bulbs, they won’t be there forever. Well they did poop out so I cleaned up my area to make more room for new plants.
🤣
You know when you take a photo and you realize something is in the wrong spot, so you fix it and take a photo again? Or maybe you see a crumb, a dog hair tumbleweed and you have to clean up and take a photo again. We’ll here’s my story.
😂
I took a photo of the kitchen sink area and I saw in the photo a smear mark on the dishwasher. So I cleaned the dishwasher. Then I took a photo again and I saw that smear mark again. So I scrubbed the dishwasher and ended up up cleaning all of my cabinets.
😂
I took the photo again and I saw that smear looking mark in my photo. What the heck? I examined the dishwasher and I’m thinking it’s so clean and smooth. I don’t get what that smear mark is. It was driving me crazy!!
🤣
Then it hit me. It was the reflection of the dog food dish in the dishwasher. Sigh.... All that scrubbing and I could have just moved the bowl. Well now I have a clean dishwasher and cabinets.
🤦‍♀️
Has this ever happened to you?

Hello Monday! We meet again!! And hello everyone! Hello Monday! We meet again!! And hello everyone! Hope you had a nice weekend. I took  advantage of the sunshine and 64 degree weather we had. I did some therapeutic yard work and I planted Pansies, Stock and Ranunculus in the garden. It felt so nice to be outside and to see flowers.
🌸
This weekend I finally repotted my Coffee Plant and Dracaena plant. They had roots growing out of the pot. I have no idea how the Dracaena (plant on right) plant survived. The roots were so dry and it was in about a 3” container.  I looked up the plant and it can grow to 10’. Not the care I gave mine. That little plant is about a year old.
🌸
If your looking for a low light, easy to care for plant that takes neglect, get a Dracaena. I’m proof that it can take neglect.
🌸
Basic repotting plant tips
1. Get a pot about 2-4” larger in diameter then the pot your current plant is in. Make sure it has a drainage hole at the bottom.
2. Use indoor potting soil, preferably organic.
3. Carefully take plant out of current pot, check if the roots are root bound, if so, try to untangle a little bit. Just be gentle.
4. Place plant in new pot with fresh indoor potting soil
5. Give a good watering
🌸
Did you watch the Super Bowl? I wasn’t a fan of the game, but I enjoyed some of the commercials. The Cheetos one with Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunas made me laugh. I didn’t care for the Doritos commercial with my man Matthew McConaughey.
🌸
Were there any commercials you liked?
