{Before and After} White Kitchen Renovation
During the holidays we did something crazy. We renovated our kitchen!
We had been talking about remodeling our kitchen for a while. We eventually decided to paint the cabinets and get new granite and backsplash.
My friend, Joy, hooked us up with Alabama Kitchen and Bath. Her husband works there and they took care of everything! Alabama Kitchen and Bath sold us new granite and the tile for the backsplash. They also gave us the name of a contractor that did all the work!
We had a great experience with Alabama Kitchen & Bath!
I HIGHLY recommend them.
Ask for Terry Sowell. He will take care of you.
I included links to everything below.
Before
Here is our kitchen before the renovation.
We've lived in our house for 13 years.
It was time for an update.
(Jack is in his spot - that is where he gets his treats.)
This was the original granite.
During
Derrick Banks (contact information below) did all the work in the kitchen.
He coordinated the whole project with Alabama Kitchen & Bath.
The whole renovation took a little over two weeks.
This was the first day.
This is when I got a little concerned.
You never want to see the wall studs!
After
The transformation was AMAZING!
The cabinets look like they came straight from the factory.
No one would ever know they had been painted. EVER!
They sanded the heck out of them. They literally sanded them for a day and a half. I think that made all the difference.
The cabinet color is Sherwin Williams Pure White 7005
We added under-cabinet lighting.
It is awesome! It made a HUGE difference in the kitchen.
I bought the cabinet pulls from Amazon.
They are 4-inches long.
We used the same pulls on the cabinets and drawers.
Here is a picture of the tile backsplash and faucet.
We went with Datile Enchanting Impressions Paint Brush Glass Tile in Gray.
We bought the tile from Alabama Kitchen & Bath.
It looks a little blue - just depends on the light.
The faucet is Moen - it is touchless.
We LOVE it!
We got it at Home Depot.
The granite. Oh, the granite.
I absolutely LOVE it!
We went with River White.
It is beautiful!
We got the granite from Alabama Kitchen & Bath. They have tons of granite, quartz and marble colors to choose from. I would have loved to get marble, but marble is very porous. It would stain too easily for me. We looked at quartz, but I preferred the natural look of granite.
We looked at lots of colors and decided to go with River White. Terry at Alabama Kitchen & Bath sent us photos of several slabs to choose from. We picked two that we liked.
Alabama Kitchen & Bath came to the house to make templates and then coordinated the installation with Derrick. Derrick removed the old tops and Alabama Kitchen & Bath installed the new tops the same day.
We couldn't be happier with the granite and the whole renovation.
Alabama Kitchen & Bath made the process so easy.
Derrick was the best construction guy we've ever worked with.
We have already contracted with Derrick to do some more work.
He is going to build me some shelves in the garage to store all my kitchen stuff.
Can not wait!!
We are in the process of picking out a paint color for the walls.
I am thinking of going with Perfect Greige from Sherwin Williams.
Perfect Greige SW 6073
