Beth and Kristy at My Design Chic recently worked their magic on this beach house kitchen for the One Room Challenge. And it was a challenge. Where to begin? The double-decker cabinets? The lone flourescent light? The five (literally FIVE) layers of linoleum? How about the teeny (and oddly also double-decker) window? To me, that’s the biggest sin of all. You can’t have a beach house on the beach with no view of the beach!
Aaaahhhh, now that’s better. They initially had planned on an entire wall of french doors, but the budget didn’t allow for it, so they went with as many windows as possible instead. And an extra sink, for gutting fish, of course. What a fantastic job.
Plus, there was also this weird little laundry room just off the kitchen, which got re-purposed into a cozy lounge space. Who needs laundry anyway? (Everyone. Unless it’s a nude beach. Which, to my knowledge, it is not. The laundry room just got moved upstairs).
Can you believe all this happened in six weeks? I can’t even seem to pick out a paint color in that time frame!

The “after” is gorgeous! I love how just about everything is white, except the floor and the blinds! Looks amazing!
