My Parents’ New Kitchen
Posted by Rebecca, June 19th, 2012
Waay back in the fall, I shared some before pictures of my parents’ kitchen before they were set to remodel it. The kitchen had remained practically the same since we moved in when I was 2 years old… 26 years ago.
My parents updated the flooring and appliances, but the old dark grainy cabinets, florescent lighting, faux brick backsplash and faux wood laminate countertops were there when we moved in.
I shared the mock ups my parents had done for their new kitchen layout and said that the contractor was all ready to start. The kitchen was set to be done by Christmas, and it was… but we had so much going on post wise getting ready for the baby that we didn’t share it. Now we shall 🙂
Pretty drastic change, huh? They went with white cabinets, white subway tile backsplash and darker Silestone countertops. Oh and they removed those awful soffits.
The lighting alone makes a world of difference in the room. The florescent light was long overdue for a kick to the curb. They added recessed lighting throughout the kitchen as well as under cabinet lighting.
By reconfiguring the location of the stove, they gained a ton more cabinet space as well.
I really still can’t believe it’s the same kitchen I looked at for my entire life. It looks so much bigger and brighter, quite the drastic change!
Okay, we all love a good kitchen remodel, who else has one to share?! With all of the time I spend watching HGTV while nursing every 2 hours during the day, I’ve been scheming some small updates for our kitchen…

Wow, what an incredible transformation! Your parents’ kitchen remodel is truly remarkable. The change from the old dark cabinets, fluorescent lighting, faux brick backsplash, and laminate countertops to the fresh and bright look with white cabinets, subway tile backsplash, and Silestone countertops is astonishing. The decision to remove the soffits was a great choice as well. The new lighting, including recessed and under cabinet lighting, has made a significant difference in the overall ambiance of the room.
