Raquel from The Glamorous Life had an outdated kitchen that wouldn’t quit. Red walls? Check. Wallpaper border? Check. Tile countertops? Honey oak cabinets? Florescent lighting? Check, Checkity, Check.
So she gave her kitchen a complete overhaul, and it looks fantastic! My favorite things are the green tile backsplash, the wall opened up into the dining room and the fact that the stove-top is no longer right in the middle of the countertop peninsula. What is that?
And it would just be wrong to have a sexy kitchen right around the corner from a frumpy living room. That would be like wearing Crocs to your wedding. (Please don’t wear Crocs to your wedding.) So the living room got a makeover too! Read all about it on Raquel’s blog The Glamorous Life.
