A Charming Kitchen Re-do

Kitchens

Another inspiring kitchen for you this week! My blogging friend Heather Bullard {Vintage Inspired Living} did a lovely update of her kitchen and I knew you’d want to see it. She graciously gave me permission to feature it here.

A Charming Kitchen Re-do

I was inspired by all she did because —

  • Her project was more of a makeover than a remodel (I love seeing how you can work with what you already have)
  • She has a similar layout to my new kitchen so she gave me some ideas for my own space
  • I loved the glass cabinets. In my old kitchen I put glass in a couple of cabinet doors and it made a HUGE difference in how the kitchen felt. I am certain I will do the same thing in my new kitchen.
  • And lastly, I think she did a beautiful job! I love all the little details and touches she put into it.

    Melissa…I love how Heather accessorizes! So inspiring as I complete my kitchen re-do! It is the little touches that turn a house into a home and a room into a beautiful living space! Also, I am working on a Post about Alexandra Stoddard. I have had the amazing opportunity to spend some time with her over the last year and was interviewed for her new book “What Good Mothers Know”. I will send you an e-mail once my post is complete. Have a great day!

    I really like it. Pretty colors. Eventually we are going to re do our kitchen so these are all good ideas.

    How beautiful! I love how light and open it is. And I love the glass doors on those cabinets too. I think it adds a nice touch to the room to be able to see pretty dishes and other odds ‘n’ ends. Thanks for sharing this with us!

    Oh, my, what a beautiful kitchen! Thanks so much for sharing it, Melissa. I’ve been thinking (for almost six years now!) about integrating glass doors on some of my kitchen cabinets. I just need to stop thinking about it and do it!

    Hope you are settling nicely into your new home …

    That’s one very lovely and pretty kitchen! Charming for sure! (now..charming isn’t a word I would use to describe my kitchen…in my dreams perhaps! LOL!)

    Thanks for sharing the lovely photos!

    Ok, I am really excited about the glass doors. I’ll have to figure out if that is a doable thing in my doors. Her makeover is awesome.

    This looks great! In addition to those things you mentioned, I like the use of two different backsplash materials. She has that cool shaped tumbled stone on the side behind the stove, and then over to the right of the sink that section of bead board looks great!
    Very bright and inviting. Looks good.

    What a pleasant surprise to wake up to this morning! I never grow tired of seeing how other people decorate – and live! This is beautiful and there’s never been a better time to feature kitchen re-dos that are kind to the budget. Thanks!

    I love that Kitchen- there’s just something about it that calls to me. I’m also a big fan of glass in some of the cabinets.

    Melissa,In our present economic climate this is a great post to show a total re-do is not necessary to have a lovely kitchen.I did the same thing 5 yrs ago until I could do a re-do and guess what?! I love it so much I don’t want a re-do anymore.We painted a depression era green and added glass fronts and I even took it a step farther and added mirror to the back of the wall and lights,It makes my small 70s kitchen pretty and larger.We also used the ugly flourescent light box and added mouldings and a vingtage crystal chandelier and what a diff.that made.Easy inexpensive and a big WOW.Kathysue Micasastyle.com

    Wow! What a beautiful kitchen. I just love the texture of glass in cabinets. I’m seriously envious of her white ware. I’m slowly getting a collection of my own.

    Heather’s kitchen is a dream come true … I have glass in a set of cabinets opposite a set with solid doors … I love the look!

    Wow! The pictures look like they came straight out of a magazine! She didn’t miss anything! Love the details and especially the cloche… ahhh that’s gorgeous. The open shelving next to the sink is a perfect use of that wall, imagine decorating the shelves for all seasons, I would anyway…
    Thanks for sharing Melissa, I will stop over at her place too.

    Oh sigh….what a wonderful kitchen! I’ve been slowly collecting white pieces, after seeing pictures of white dinnerware on white shelves. I’m hoping that if I collect enough, my husband will instantly want to build me some shelves when I suggest it. :) Right now our kitchen is a mish-mash of mustard paint, terra-cotta and teal backsplash tiles, and oak cabinets. Oh, and green counters. It needs serious help…thanks for the inspiration :)

    I’m redoing my own kitchen and really love what she did here. I have a new house with good cabinets and want so badly to paint them white. My husband is soooo against it. I’m doing a before and after on my blog when I get it done. Thanks for the great info.

    I am one dishwasher away (coming Saturday!) from completing a kitchen makeover…which will not be nearly as stellar as this one!! But I do appreciate a good makeover vs. gut reno myself. Heather has some beautiful collections and objects that she’s created the perfect room to display in. Brava! :-)

    I love the glass panes in the cupboards; it’s definitely something I’ll have to try in my home after we’ve moved in and are looking to fine tune the details.

    Love it! I think the best thing about glass-front cabinets is that it forces you to keep your cupboards organized and nice-looking! I think I will have to keep those on my “someday” list…

    Melissa, this is a great remodel. We have a kitchen remodel coming up so I have been enjoying the ideas. Loved the one a week or so ago with the marble counter tops, also in white. Both are beautiful! Thanks for being so inspiring!

    Hi there! I am a new kid on the blog, so my site is not as professional looking as yours. I did find you a couple of weeks ago on my own but Karen Harvey Cox visited my site and mentioned you again to me. WOW! Can I be part of your following? Please visit me at Castles Crowns and Cottages. I am all about makeovers on a budget. My photos don’t do justice to the hard work we have done, on our own! Your photos are beautiful and you truly inspire us lovers of beauty! PTL, ANita

    I love this! I love the countertops – a great alternative to white marble – it has the same light effect without the “issues.” And I love those shelves – just gorgeous, great job!
