The ’90s called. They don’t want their orange-toned cabinets back. The ’90s called because they’re in rehab and currently taking steps to make amends. They don’t know what they were thinking with all that orange, and they want to apologize.
Roxanne knew it was time to let go of the past too. Her kitchen was so overrun with honey oak, it might as well have been wearing scrunchies and watching TRL. Let’s see how she brought it up to speed.
White on white, subway tile, glossy quartz counters, stainless steel appliances … welcome to … whatever we call this decade! (Seriously, what do we call ourselves right now? Two thousand and teens? Help.)
Roxanne and her husband made the most of their budget by doing a lot of the work themselves. Did you know you can save around $500 just by ripping out your own countertops?
One of my favorite changes (no surprise here) is adding uppers to the cabinets. Such a surefire way to make a builder-basic kitchen look high-end, every time!
They also ripped out most of the pantry to make way for a larger fridge, but managed to maximize what was left with a pull-out cabinet. You can see more of that on her blog The Honeycomb Home.
Didn’t it turn out great? Add it to your “Honey, I want to paint the kitchen white, it will be awesome, here’s proof” file.
No one can argue with that.
