There are no ‘before’ pictures of this kitchen because it was that terrifying, the only thing we salvaged were the newish vinyl windows. Everything else had to be taken back to the studs and rebuilt! Because the ceilings are lower in this downstairs suite area we didn’t add any uppers or shelves, just beautiful counter to ceiling tile in a light green shade to help bring the garden views inside.
There was no exhaust fan in this kitchen so we cut one in! For a more modern look we chose a slide-in range and a square edge laminate in faux-ash to give the room some warmth. Ikea basic white cabinets include hidden interior drawers for more storage. The entire suite was fitted with many pot lights to add light to this already bright and south facing eat-in kitchen.
A simple farmhouse sink (IKEA) and boxed-in fridge completes the kitchen. New laminate flooring and baseboards give this kitchen a brand-new look and feel.
Because the suite has no upper cabinets we decided to attach a freestanding open cupboard to use for glassware and dishes. I found this dining table on craigslist for $40 and it matches the countertop laminate! Love it :)
Inspired by the garden views, Christina painted the art work that hangs in the kitchen.
