Here is the REAL kitchen and bathroom update! That previous post, well, let’s just say that my trigger finger got the best of me. 🙂

Yes, everyone! The day has finally come for me to share the finished kitchen and bathroom! It has been a long and crazy few months, but we made it in tact and came out on the other side a million times happier. If that is even possible!
I definitely do not want to bog you down with any more about the downside of living through construction, but I want to go right i to sharing our new spaces! With a little before and after recap.
I am so happy, as you might imagine, to be back in my home cooking and spaced out like a normal family again. Missing out on cooking had been my biggest sadness through it all, and I literally kissed my new stove when I was able to clean it. Heh yep, imma big nut.
We are still not at 100% on this project..the heater needs to be installed in the kitchen, the stainless chute for the vent has to be made and installed, the glass windows have to be put into the dining room cabinets, and I am still under a lot of mess from unpacking and cleaning. So these are the best photos I could take today while a mess. (sorry!)
Ok, so let us go down memory lane. Here are some memories of the former glorious kitchen (that is some sarcasm)…
Remember this built in table?!THE DINING ROOM BEFORE- The wall.
This is the old dining room closet..Our last view of our old wall..as we bid farewell.Who puts a switch in the middle of a wall? The previous owners, that is who. hahaTHE BATHROOM BEFORE!- The coined Sunoco Bathroom!What an ugly bathroom!
We made a lot of memories in that space. They were all the best a family could make, but the space was just so unsighlty and not functional for a family like mine. Which is why we did all this work. From October to now we gutted everything to the studs, rebuilding it all and switching around the space. A lot of work went into these spaces that you can’t visually even see…which is the fun part of home renovations when your house is over 100 yrs old.
Now here is the new Kitchen…
You ready?

THE KITCHEN AFTER- I am standing exactly where the photo above shows the wall with the door opening in the old dining room. Amazing right? Ok except the old table! Don’t look at that!The new double sink below the new larger windows! The white cabinets and darker granite top make a huge impact in the space now.I really love these!The corner cabinets.Which are next to this new beast. Also, notice there is a new doorway to the TV room?The other side of the corner cabinets is my new BFF. We are so happy together.The handles up close.A view of the blue pearl royale granite with the Carrera marble subway tiles. They look like an opalescent shell. So pretty in person.Another shot.The old skylights revamped, but the biggest excitement are the new lights and AC unit!The new sliding door to the back tv room.
The dining area..
Light quartz top with darker cabinetsLook! It’s a switch in the right place.. YAY!We went with a gray washed cherry cabinet here. To break up the space and to define it as a dining china cabinet.The shiny cabinet pulls that make me so happy!And, I am finally a grown up. I have a china cabinet!
The new bathroom!
The shower, without the glass doors.Now, am I the only girl who goes gaga for outlets? Cause these are awesome.The new bathroom faucet.My baby! Turquoise bathroom vanity!The shiny new cabinet pulls..ahh so shiny!The floor of the shower in that swank rhombus marble tile!Ohhhh, and the new flooring in the bathroom! A real fun porcelain tile that sort of looks like the one in our master bathroom. Love this!And.. the door of the new bathroom. Can’t see it from the kitchen anymore! yes!
