I Hate My Kitchen Design - Traditional Update Episode

I Hate My Kitchen

Design Plan

Meghan's owns a beautiful 1930's home and has done an amazing job remodeling and updating.

With this new kitchen makeover, I wanted to make sure we kept within the integrity of the home - yet giving it an updated fresh style.

Her cabinets were in great condition, they just needed more style! 

We kept the cabinets and I had a subtle diagonal design added to a few wall cabinet doors.  So subtle you almost miss them at first glance.

Meghan's kitchen has wonderful high ceilings, I wanted to draw the eye upward so I had antiqued glass panels installed. 

To draw attention to the height of the ceilings, I had the inside cabinets painted a bright color.  Now your eye is drawn upward to take in the high ceilings.

The flooring - this was fun!  We decided to go with classic black and yellow squares laid on the diagonal.

Easy to install, no glue, no nails, just click into place!

It fits with the 1930's classic vibe with a updated fresh design.

Countertops - you think concrete would be too modern but the dark earthy color goes with the floors and looks like is has been there for years.

Adding a bright painted island and lighter concrete countertops gave this room some attitude! 

Adding an apron front sink and small drawer dishwasher makes this kitchen highly functional with great style!

Styling Meghan's kitchen, I kept it simple and fresh.  Touches of silver and small pops of color keeps this kitchen vintage yet fresh and stylish!
