When we first moved in two years ago, the kitchen although practically brand new was just too modern for my taste ( and my husband's thankfully ). So the first thing we did was tackle the cabinets and the island.
The "before" of the eat in kitchen island ( notice how we changed the hideous choice of tabletop to butcher block ). My husband added molding which I thought was a nice touch. See "blue " phase I went through before finally getting to the beautiful finished below? I lived with that for a year...Thank god it's gone.
Below is my "after" - my pretty Beaux Arts look. I'm in love :)
The "before" look of the cabinets. I did a disteressed white and added wood medallions ( below ). I also used real wood veneer on top of the glass because the glass was already glued into the cabinet and couldn't be removed.
Now I added a little gold and I am going to change the knobs to crystal ones.
My 80's barstool chairs ( below ) I found on Craigslist are now a beautiful french "Beaux Arts" style.
More pics to come :)
