This kitchen makeover comes fresh from the oven of a single-dad who calls himself ‘Beard.’ Beard had a big list of goals and small amount of space to work with; just about 100 square feet. I’d say he did pretty awesome! Here’s the rundown of what he wanted out of his kitchen reboot:
Decluttered: check
De-soffited: check
De-smurfed: check
Flooring, fixtures, and counters updated: check
Dishwasher in non-stupid place: check
Rosie-the-Robot installation: uh, not check.
(I’d like to be the first to know when that becomes available, however. Oh, heck yes I would.)
It looks streamlined and modern, and yet still feels warm and homey. Amazing job Beard! Learn more about Beard and his home on his blog Beard and Pigtails.

April 11, 2012 at 3:01 AMThanks Lindsey for posting up the kitchen reboot! My favorite parts of the redo include the custom-made table and cooking with gas. The black floor is also good at hiding messes, is that a plus or minus?
