Done At Last!

 

Finally I can say that the kitchen is finished! The last of the painting was done on Friday and on Saturday and Sunday I did absolutely nothing.
I promised myself that I am not picking up another paint brush until Spring.

This is how it looked when we first moved in a little over four years ago. Wow, was it ever cluttered, but I never really noticed it then.

Here is a close up of the new sink and faucet.

I forgot to get a close up of the sink skirt. Can you see it peeking out there on the left side of the photo?

In this photo Tim is measuring for the cutting of the bead board. Notice the stenciled flowers the previous owner had painted on the wall? She was very fond of this stencil. It was painted all around the woodwork on the kitchen window, it was around the wood stoves platform, and on every single step of  the ladder up tp our loft.

 
 
Here is a view into the dining room area. Our cabins dining/living room/ and kitchen are all open to one another.

Here is an view from the loft our first Thanksgiving in the cabin.

Here is a shot from the loft last night. We haven't really made many changes, just the kitchen. It's nothing fancy, but to us it's a comfy, cozy home.
I'm happy to report we got a little dusting of snow lastnight! I hoping for more as the day progresses.
Happy Thursday!

    The kitchen turned out so nice.

    Did I spy a branch above the sink?
    Do you have a special window treatment planned?

  5. Good morning Kimberly, I am on snowflake watch here in Ga. Yep, notice it is singular. Everyone is so excited that we might see a few but not even expecting it to be enough to cover the grasss. None the less it will be snow. I so love your kitchen. That facet is a dream of mine. Love the cabinets. Do you mind sharing what kind of paint and color you used? Your home is so cozy. A picture of love. Have a blessed day.

  8. Kimberly, I adore your new kitchen and your the rest of the house. It is inviting. Love that your table is by the window. I think that encourages conversation.xoxo,Susie

  9. You've done a wonderful job on your kitchen update! What a big job! Your home is cozy and inviting.
    We had snow, then it melted and now we have more. I knew it was way too early for the snow to be gone.
    Stay warm!

  10. I think it is just lovely. I love what you have done. I love your kitchen and I like looking at how cozy and warm looking your cabin looks. I like your sink too. All of it looks like you have been working like crazy. I had to laugh about the stencil. We used to have a small rental and we used it mainly for people who were down on their luck to stay in from our family and church. We had a lady come to ask to rent it for awhile until she got on her feet. She upped and left in the night leaving no address or anything. We went in to check on things and she had used a stencil like that in every single room of the house she even did the floor in the bathroom.
    I saw that stencil and it made me think of her. Maybe she moved up there? :)

  19. Kimberly,

    I love your cabin! You and hubby did a beautiful job on the kitchen.
    Okay, can we swap house keys, lol??

  20. Hi there, I love the transformation! Especially love the white cabinets and beadboard and also the granite. I would love to redo our kitchen but it is so big that we would have to paint the cabinets and also getting granite would break the bank.
    Thanks for sharing-enjoy!
    Hugs, Noreen

  23. Your kitchen (and your home) look beautiful, Kimberly. It does look very warm and cozy too. I like the changes you made in the kitchen. Hope you get the snow you want.

  24. Gorgeous kitchen! Are you going to hang curtains as I noticed a branch there...I've got branches I've collected to use as curtain rods but haven't done any yet...par for the course! LOL! Do you have cabins you rent out or did I misunderstand? Do you have a resort? All that wood...no painting walls etc! Smart! Love the curtain in front of the sink and your hardware too!

  26. Kimberly your kitchen looks beautiful. That was a big chore to paint all those cupboards and put up the bead board. The sink and faucet are really nice. You must be so pleased with the outcome. Your home is nice and cozy. Glad you got some snow again. It's bitterly cold here tonight. Hugs, Pam
