My Dining Room & Kitchen Transformation

This past year has been a crazy ride for all of us I know! For me, renovating our dining room and kitchen was a highlight. After sprucing up other areas in the house this past year, I knew that the kitchen and dining room was the next on my list!

I wanted to give my home a more modern feel which is why I decided to go with bold black accents throughout. From painting the cabinets, backsplash in the kitchen, and adding a pattern to the dining room wall with black - it worked perfectly!

The other important element of my vision was personality. With some careful thought and creative solutions like lights, a butcher block to separate the spaces, I achieved it. Making sure every detail counts is key when bringing a place together and any special touches added that extra spice.

All-in-all a successful renovation project - the fresh color pallete created a refreshing change and the special details gave our dining room character making it an inviting space for family gatherings or just to relax with friends!

Let’s take a look at how we started out:

And here is how it turned out!

Some changes I still want to make:
1.) completely gut and redo the entire kitchen with new cabinets and a new layout.
2.) redo all of the floors to a lighter tone and a herringbone style
3.) have a custom island built once I can make some slight layout modifications
4.) Replace alll of the windows cuz LAWD knows they have to go!

But I will say I LOVE the progress thus far and looking forward to more changes!
