How did you start this? I’m basically just looking for a general approach, like –
1. We did it ourselves.
2. We went to a local company that advertisers home remodel services.
3. We went to one of the big home improvement retail stores and they did it.
4. We hired a general contractor.
The after is nice, definitely like the floor, lights, and hood better.
But the overall wood look and U-shaped counter of the before is my preference.
Sweet. I like all the wood.
Both versions seem great
Personally I loved the old ceiling but I’m happy you have your dream kitchen OP!
I love it! I personally would have kept the wood paneling as I really like the look of the shiplap. I really like the addition of the large standing cabinets. Did you have any problems with enclosing the fridge, I’m looking at doing the same to my kitchen but I don’t want to lock myself in a certain fridge size.
Holy shit your original kitchen is so much better than my current kitchen 😂
20 years later… “Can you believe this homeowner covered up this beautiful shiplap wood ceiling?”
I like some elements. Many actually, so don’t feel bad. Opinions are like assholes anyhow, right? The new look is almost entirely cold and I don’t think that is going to last stylistically, though I love white cabinets and light counters myself. However it was a sin (a SIN!) to remove that ceiling. I can’t believe you did that, I just can’t even. I personally would have done everything you did except left the ceiling and made the floor echo it with warm tones. It was lovely and I has a sad. If there is any chance it’s still under the new material, maybe you can bring it back later when the cold trend dies (as it is right now).
I love it all but the ceiling. I can’t help but think what a nice dark stain on that would look like with the updates. I’m jealous of the oven hood though
Honestly I can’t believe you would opt into less counter space
I’m not sure which one you mean. I like the wood one
I can’t believe you covered the wood on the ceiling. Your kitchen now looks like every kitchen you see in every base model new build across the United States.
You have less cabinet space?
No microwave? How do you even make hot pockets.
All remoded kitchens are the same IKEA layouts now. Exciting.
Those pine or whatever ceilings could have been a beautiful feature not a bug. Im jealous
………………. the before looked more like a warm, cozy home.
Id love to remodel my kitchen like that.
​
The after looks cold souless ad in a reality book with no history or flavor. White on white on white. Less counter space. Drywall instead of the natural warm wood. The only thing even slightly better to me here is the floor.
I preferred the wood kitchen vs the white setup.
I really liked the warmness of the wooden kitchen, also I can’t believe you covered that beautiful ceiling
Your dream kitchen is basic as fuck. You shouldn’t have bought that house. You need some slapped together new build.
Everyone’s going all white these days! That being said it looks great. Since it’s a comment I thought I’d add my two cents…try dark blue accents
It was better before
yikes you turned your house into an AirBnB?
RIP amazing wood vaulted ceilings.
WTF. Why did you touch that beautiful wooden ceiling? I don’t understand how people manage to royally fuck up beautiful interior and exterior features. The interior is also all white now and looks sterile. If you at least left the ceiling, you’d have some natural , warm contrast.
If you like it that is great, but i would have kept the ceiling and would have gone for newer matching wood cabinets, and a darker stone counter top. but that’s me!
All that work and the cabinets don’t go to the ceiling on that cabinet to the right of the sink
I would have made that right cabinet level with the countertop to make it less cluncky and added more storage under the island -which now looks undersized . Definitely room to add cabinets there instead
How did you do such a thorough job of removing that white paint? The natural wood is such an improvement. Good job!
Wow, you took something with character and made it….generic
Except for the linoleum, the top is much better. It looks warm and homey. Bottom looks like every designer pile of crap.
Ngl apart from the floor it looks like a downgrade to me.
The generic white IKEA style is absolutely not my cup of tea.
In the end you need to be happy about it, but you came here so you get my opinion.
Eh, shame about the ceiling. Even if it had been painted white, it would have provided more architectural interest.
My favorite thing is when people post their home remodeling before and after pics and a majority of people like the before better…something about it just makes me giggle while feeling a twinge sorry for OP.
i like the wood
Sorry OP but this is actually a minor fuck up. Your remodel could’ve been nicer and cheaper with just paint + new tiling.
The first one looks much better. I think only the tiles and the light fixtures needed to be fixed. What you did to the ceiling should be a crime. But anyway live your best life. I don’t think our tastes are the same. However, I have been around very high-level carpenters my entire life. my family has been doing carpentry for about 7 generations.
dawg you should have just changed the countertop
Ahhh great you sterilized it🤙🏻
Was nice before. The after would have been amazing with that wood ceiling.
…. am in bad person for not knowing which is before and which is after?
It was better before.
Please tell me it’s in the wrong order and you didn’t ruin that beautiful room on top.
if the bottom one is the after and it’s the same house, it looks WORSE (Ignoring the flooring) glad you’re happy with it but i would be immediatly wanting to gut it and re-do it.
Way to sterile for me, why does everyone do this now? Feels cold and no flavor or personality. I feel more comfortable just looking at the before photo haha. No hate though that’s impressive work, nice.
I hope the “paint everything white” fad runs its course soon.
You ruined it. I’m sorry, but you ruined it.
I weep for the ceiling
