C'est fini!
Cupboards repaired: check
Walls painted and sponged: check
Ceiling repaired and painted: check
Cupboards and trim painted: check
Light up: Yahoo! Finally!
Next up: new baseboard, then crown molding. The baseboard has to be done--the previous owner's dog chewed it under the pantry cupboard--but now I'm wondering now about the crown molding. The kitchen is such a plain, farmhouse style. Do you think crown molding will be too much? We have beautiful 14" crown molding everywhere else in the house. Opinions, please!

What a wonderful job y'all accomplished. It looks great. I like your new blog look, too!
It's beautiful, Kim. I know this was a labor of love as well as a labor. Opinions on the crown molding--I love it personally. But I live in a Victorian style repro that has crown molding everywhere. I'm biased. I don't think that having a bit in the kitchen would take away from the farmhouse style. .02
I the feeling after completing a difficult job well. I hope you enjoy your "new" kitchen!
You must really be revved up and in a redecorating mode--I like your new blog look. Makes me want to do one on mine; maybe that's the kick in the pants that I need to get going again...
And your kitchen--a wonderfully inviting place! As for the crown molding, I think your kitchen is begging for it! I love crown molding, and like Elle, have a great bias for it.
Love the new kitchen and light fixture. Crown molding would be great too!!
Love your new blog look Kim. Very warm and inviting. Your kitchen has that same welcoming look..
I love crown molding too, and think it would add a nice touch to this space.
xo
BEAUTIFUL!! The new decor and the new blog!! As to the crown molding, I don't think that crown molding itself would be a bad idea, although I'm not sure if 14" crown molding wouldn't overpower the space. Can you put up a test piece to see how you like it before making the commitment? Maybe a narrower version of what you already have might look better?
Still - BRAVA! I just love a good redecoration, especially a DIY! :)
We're going to see if we can find a simple, beaded molding to harmonize with the beaded edge of the ceiling medallion. Whatever we do, it will be simple. The kitchen is really tiny--a narrow galley style, so you're right; big moldings would definitely overpower it!
Yes to crown molding, but narrower, like 5 inches or so.
I love the new blog look. The new kitchen looks great, too. When you are done at you house, could you come do mine?
Just nice all around Kim. Makes you feel good huh?! I like the light.
Oh Oh! Now it's even better. Tell me the top did change again or have I had too much wine....
I had to have another look - what colors did you go with on the paint? It's hard to tell in the photo but it looks like a pale yellow?
Beautiful! I love it!
