My kitchen and working with what you have

No. 29 Design
by No. 29 Design
Our home budget had room for just one renovation and after deciding to finish the basement we were left with a older kitchen. I decided to work with what I have and made some minor changes to make my kitchen work for me. Lighting was added, a cabinet or two was repurposed and some storage was added. Then accessories were added and it all came together! For more of what changes I made visit http://www.no29design.com/2013/04/house-tour-kitchen.html
Before
After - By removing some cabinets doors I created the look of open shelving. It added some visual depth and interest to my kitchen.
Before
After - My pantry and "office" area is the perfect amount of storage my family needs. A huge pantry in the basement helps keep all the "goodies" out of sight!
Before
After - A wall storage system and a microwave were added. The by sliding the stove over I was able to create a safer and more organized kitchen.
A pendant light was added over the table. The wall was also painted two different colors pulling into play the chair rail that was already there.

    A very pleasant and inviting room. Love the green you used on the walls.

    Looks nice and clean., but a little empty., Huge kitchen like this., I would move table out from wall make a bench seat., you could do it with a mirror and shelf, couple plants and maybe hooks for a coat., that you could do out of pallets which are free., paint them or natural stain would be beautiful. And or an island., i would put a pretty table cloth on table or place matts., over window sill, I would put a 1x4 shelf for plants and that other wall look for a goodwill hutch to redo., here you can find hutches under 65.00., it looks nice just thought if needed a little more warmth., couple suggestions that's all., not meant in a bad way. Plants and table clothes always make it feel more cozy.
