Let’s be honest—who doesn't love a good before and after? And as you've witnessed this week, we're in a remodel, kind-of mood. To help celebrate our site's redesign, we've rounded up some great kitchen transformations. Which is your favorite?

#1. An Old Living Room-turned-kitchen [above]

We can't believe our eyes either! This kitchen went from an outdated, floral-wallpapered living room [photo below] to a bright and stylish kitchen [photo above] in just eight weeks. We love how this family took advantage of an under used living space and turned it into the heart of their home. Spotted on: designsponge.com

 

#2. Following A Quirky Kitchen Remodel

From the tedious grunt work to the fun, finishing touches, homeowners Greg and Ashley Brown offer a honest and clever look at their kitchen's remodel. Whether it’s a quirky mishap or a unique art project, we love this behind-the-scenes look at the ups and downs of kitchen remodeling. Spotted on:7thhouseontheleft.com

#3. Colorful Concrete

Concrete may conjure up words like sterile and cold, but this kitchen has us thinking otherwise. With a variety of dyes, paints, and stains and an endless array of patterns, colored concrete is our new favorite way to add character to a kitchen refresh. Spotted on: apartmenttherapy.com 

 

#4. A Spontaneously Renovated Kitchen

Ever wonder what an impromptu kitchen remodel looks like? Behold this flooded kitchen-turned-French-inspired renovation. While the owners now love their cheery yellow walls, cozy breakfast nook, salvaged marble countertops, and loft ceiling, they also lend valuable insight into the woulda-shoulda-coulda’s of their kitchen remodel. Spotted on: thekitchn.com

 

#5. A Gardener’s Kitchen Remodel

A 13-foot long, outdated galley kitchen with minimal counter space was no match for these gardening enthusiasts in Sonoma, CA. With an upcoming grape harvest and a bevy of canning projects, the owners needed counter space and a style refresh fast. In only six weeks, this kitchen went from outdated and inefficient to chic and functional.Spotted on: remodelista.com

THESE ARE ALL FANTASTICALLY DONE, I LOVE THEM, THANKS WANDA ROY

When were you able to get into my house??? These photos are almost exactly like our 1909 farmhouse-saved-in-mid-1980s style ... and pretty close to the way we'd like to renovate it! Thanks.
