Our Brand Spanking New Kitchen: Before & After Photos

We did it!  We've survived our first major home renovation!  I'm pleased to report that the last few pieces have been installed, including the above-fridge filler, and the custom trim/panel work on the side of the refrigerator, producing a more "built-in" look.  Honestly, our finish carpenter is so awesome, you would never know this was a custom add-on and not actually from the Ikea Ramsjo White line!

So let's take a walk down memory lane and compare what our kitchen looked like 3 months ago to the new finished kitchen.

Close-up Details in the New Kitchen

Custom refrigerator panel mimicks the Ikea line perfectly and creates a more built-in look!  Cove and trim molding in color-matched paint hide the soffit made from Ramsjo White island panels.

24'' base cabinet modified with cover panel trim for under-cabinet microwave.

Close-up of the Caesarstone quartz countertops in Atlantic Salt (6270) on the coffee bar.

Ikea Lansa handles on Ramsjo White base cabinets with drawers.

New 5-burner gas range.  I've never had a ventilation hood before!  Yeah for ventilation!

Pull-out bin with hidden trash can.

 While the kitchen was the major focus, the whole back 1/2 of the house was renovated.  Here are photos from the other rooms.

Back hall: new walls, new floor, new molding, new light, new wall paper, new storage & restored original door trim.

First Floor Bathroom: New paint and a new mirror.

Back hall with brand new laundry closet.  Hooray!  No more laundry in the kitchen!

Only one of the two headers above the bedroom doors is a 90-year-old original.  The other is a replica made by our extremely talented carpenter.  Can YOU tell the difference???
