For my two-year anniversary in my house, I decided to do a series of then and now posts. I’m starting with the kitchen.

I think the kitchen shows the most dramatic change of any room in the house.

Renovations

• Replaced vinyl flooring with solid oak flooring
• Replaced bright brass cabinet hardware with antique brass
• Added a pendant light
• Replaced fluorescent lighting with can lights and dimmer switch
• Painted the walls in Restoration Hardware Spanish Moss (matched Benjamin Moore Aura paint)
• New refrigerator
• Replaced plastic toe-kick with hand-stained cherry toe-kick

• Garbage-picked & polyurethaned table
• Pottery barn chairs
• Curtains taken from the porch windows
• Kitchen towels from Crate & Barrel (Vera Neumann canning jars, Vera Neumann vegetable dishtowel, orange stripe dishtowels)
• Anthropologie owl cookie jar (a gift from my parents for my 30th birthday)

Check out my pantry too!
