Before & After Kitchen Renovation

Welcome back! It's Monday & it's back to work! Today.....one of my readers, Meaghan Taylor sent over her amazing Kitchen renovation. 

She described the before pictures by saying, "it looked like a crack den." Ha! Well, I'm not going to disagree with her on that but let's just say the after pics are amazing! 

As many of you know I L-O-V-E a white kitchen & this one was done so nicely...... from the white subway tiles to the black counter tops! I can hardly believe it's the same place....can you?? Let Meaghan know what you think of her reno!!

Here's what Meaghan had to say about the renovation project:

We purchased this home in September of 2009 and planned to first concentrate on:
 
- Removing all the 1970s wallpaper (on unprimed walls!) and painting
- Removing the popcorn ceilings and re-plastering
- Removing the carpet and replacing with hardwood
 
We also planned to paint the kitchen walls and cabinets to spruce things up a bit while we saved up for a new kitchen (WITHOUT carpet!)  Unfortunately, we were so tired after 10+ rooms that by the time we got to the kitchen (we were planning a wedding at the same time!), that never happened.  
 
FINALLY (2 years later), we can say that we are DONE!  Let's decorate (ideas welcome!)

Where Did I Get That?!?! (Made By Girl)

I often get emails from readers asking where I purchased certain items in my home. One of the most frequently asked questions is, 

"where did you get those pendants in your kitchen?!?!?!?" 



I CAN'T BELIEVE that after all this time it didn't occur to me to post this on my blog....duh! So, below I'll name as many things as possible from my kitchen along with their sources in case you're ever wondering!


  • Hicks Pendants by Thomas O'Brien available via Circa Lighting. They're actually available in a few different finishes & sizes. (I have these)
  • Lucite Bar Stools via Ebay from this vendor.
  • Floors are by Provenza Antico Collection in Vintage. The floors are actually eco-friendly/engineered floors. 
  • Kitchen hardware was all purchased at Home Depot.
  • Counter tops are by Corian in Rain Cloud. They look like marble minus the expensive price tag!
  • Backsplash is a relatively inexpensive honed Carrara Marble from HomeDepot.
  • Green Apples from Trader Joe's - j/k
